Lol, some Thatcher groupie is down-voting all the remarks critical of her.

This isn't far off the mark ...

She's quite admired in the states. I'm surprised at the negativity expressed

I think people are reluctant to admit that she was good at politics, you can't achieve what she did -just in the Tory Party- without understanding both the machinery of politics and its operators; she got through a staggering amount of paperwork in a day's work; she was, as far as I know, completely incorruptible and a saint compared to the venal slime who have used their privilege to be MP's to claim expenses for flat screen tvs, bookshelves, duck-ponds and so on -ok she married a millionaire and never needed money, but as a matter of principle she was unlikely to fiddle her expenses, if she even had any. I know that certain people desperately wanted to uncover something sleazy about her and Denis, but it never did emerge.

In your US system, a President cannot serve more than two terms, a means of limiting ambition we ought to have here. The political skills that built her career, notably her unwillingness to compromise, became her downfall particularly with regard to the Poll Tax. Had she left power in 1989 for example, her departure would not have been so ugly.

In a way it is not clear to me how responsible Mrs Thatcher was for the changes that have taken to capitalism in the UK and elsewhere since the 1970s; I think she may have led Britain into depression earlier than it might otherwise have experienced. The off-shoring and outsourcing of business and the radical changes in technology have transformed the way products are made, and devastated our economy.

There was a time in this country when people made ships, now they make coffee.

She was a cunt. Its excellent news she is dead.
I have no respect for her or her family. Bollocks to 'em the bunch of right wing, homophobic shits.

Now when are Henry Kissinger, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Queen Lizzy the lizard bitch, Philip, Charles and the rest of the criminal psychopath lot going to punch their tickets to hell? The evil ones just seem to live forever.
