Former Prime Minister has died of a stroke this morning.
Probably a large proportion of Scotland ready to rejoice

It's going to be a long week with people debating her time as PM.

It certainly will be.
Very mixed review in my workplace. She gave us the poll-tax before the rest of the nation, but working for a company that made parts for the sea harrier she gave us a huge amount of overtime during the Falklands conflict and beyond!!!!

I'm hardly in mourning but that's out of order...whatever her politics,how would you feel if it was your mother/grandmother and people were dancing in the street at the news of her death
How hard is it to just say nothing?
Few people wont have an opinion about Margaret Thatcher (be it good or bad) and debate and discussion are welcomed but I'm going to get in early and ask that folk just exercise a bit of thought when they post here on this thread

I don't think she thought about that in 1989 when she and the establishment were spreading lies to protect themselves when 96 people died at Hillsborough.
Agreed! she was a politician and a human being, are people stooping so low now as keyboard warriors. Show some respect for people and life or don't post at all. :angry:

I wont be "celebrating" as such. However, she is a person that I hate with a passion.
This evil woman tried to manage the decline of my city, and with regard to "Orgreave" tried to turn this country into her own personal police state.
Don't get me wrong, the unions needed reining in, I think ex council house home ownership was a good thing, but she was responsible for many,many bad things in her rein. Also under he administration, she helped to sweep the establishments negligence under the carpet and was part of the biggest cover up in my lifetime, with regards to Hillsborough.
No tears will be shed in my city, and I feel lots of northern and Scottish cities.

I have no doubt that she would turn around our floundering economy and nanny state at present.

I have no doubt either - but at whose cost? The underpriviliged and the weak is my bet.
And whose gain, the multi-millionaires and the capitalist system. Remember - more options are better. Are they, especially when the old can no longer heat their houses. Some choice.
Eat or heat?

Although she made many mistakes including the introduction of poll tax which saw her political demise, she also did some great things and few politicians could match her for the courage of her convictions. She was an elected leader with clear aims unlike all the wishy washy, about-turning spin merchants we've had for the last 2 decades.
Her mistakes all but cancelled out her achievements and ultimately led to her political demise. Like her or loathe her though, they don't make 'em like they used to.

There will be little tears shed North of the Watford Gap, she wasnt called The Iron Lady for nothing.

I spoke to her on the flght deck of HMS Hermes on the day that we returned from the Falklands. She seemed very relieved that the majority of us came back alive. She must have had some sleepless nights knowing that she had sent some young men to an early grave. She was good for the armed forces at times, but not sure about some of the other stuff, miners strike for instance.
RIP Maggie

Bit too young to know a lot about her time as PM, but her 'stick to my guns' attitude is the sort of politician that might turn things around in the country today. RIP.

Your right we're at an eat or heat state at present due to horrendous spineless leadership for years. Britain needs a strong leader and there is no doubting Maggie had more balls than Major, Blair, Brown and Cameron combined!
