Oh, but I'm under 60 so don't have a valid opinion on such matters unless of course they align with the socialist bias on these boards.

The sheer nastiness of the Left is coming out now.
Go on, let it all out, show everybody what bastards you really are.
You were a great PM, god rest your soul and people will remember you as the best PM since Churchill.
Peace always has been and always will be an intermittent flash of light in a dark history of warfare, violence, and destruction
Plaudits spread across the political spectrum – from hard-bitten street protesters against the rule of Vladimir Putin to Kremlin-linked billionaires.
Leading the way was Mikhail Gorbachev, the 82-year-old former Soviet leader, whose series of meetings with the UK prime minister in the 1980s helped pave the way for the end of the Cold War. Mr Gorbachev called his former sparring partner “a politician whose word carried great weight” and a “striking person”.
“She will remain in our memories, and in history,” he said.
Mrs Thatcher’s tough, uncompromising delivery and her ultra-patriotic stance won her many admirers in the Soviet Union and later Russia, where such qualities are highly valued – even in a foe.

Well she won, she moved politics to the right in the uk, and I dont think she would give a damn if you dug her up, much like cromwell wouldn't have cared that he was dug up and dragged through the streets.
A fine women with beautiful eyes has died, if I make it to valhalla be nice to see her there as a valkerie

Well she should have fought to die standing up ideally fighting her many enemys, a heart attack in your 80s isnt a ideal way to die but I still like her and would like to see her as a valkerie .

Jonny, here's a little something to be going on with.
She was a primal force much like kali, , politics today aren't a patch on then for theatre and general drama.
Cameron I dont think he believes in anything none of them do, but I think she did .

She supported the Khmer Rouge.
She decimated northern communities with her policies, from the way the miners were treated to how what happened at Hillsborough was covered up and blamed on the Liverpool fans.
She supported the murderous Chilean dictator Pinochet
I don't think it's unreasonable to intensely dislike someone with this kind of legacy. I feel sorry for her kids, mainly because I can't imagine what it must have been like to have her as a mother.
I remember when, following the decimation she wreaked on whole swathes of this country in her first term, her and her party were rock bottom in the polls and were set for an electoral wipe out at the next election. At which point the Falklands crisis came up and the old nationalistic jingoism that is never very far from the surface in some sections of our society came out in force.
I remember watching Question Time during the Falklands War and some Tory MP gushed about how how her sending out our troops showed Thatcher had guts. At which point someone from the audience shouted out that it was a shame our lads had to spills theirs on Goose Green to prove it.
