Not sure quite why, but I'm really sad to hear that.
 
I thought Thatcher dragged Britain out of the mire.
I have read her books and have great admiration for her.

From the ABC:

As Britain's longest-serving 20th century prime minister and the only woman to have held the job, Lady Thatcher presided over a decade of radical change in Britain.

From the day in May 1979 that she arrived in 10 Downing Street with her trademark handbag, the grocer's daughter used no-nonsense rhetoric and a steely power over her male acolytes to take stagnant Britain on a journey of economic reform.

She was also one of the few prime ministers to have an ideology named after her: Thatcherism's appeal was to the individual, its rhetoric was all about freedom and an end to class division, about less state control and more private enterprise, about smashing anything that believed in collective power, from trade unions to the Soviet bloc.
 
Might have to bring out the young ones.

She obviously didnt help out the kids. Or get dexys midnight runners in the library.
 
Malcolm Farr also jumped on board a false claim about Thatcher:

Found it pretty poor that people were singing and dancing in the streets at the news of her passing.

Sure - they may have had some fiery clashes...but let the dead lie in peace.

Agree entirely.
She did have some significant faults and Britain is no better off now because of her but dancing in the streets because she is dead is probably taking it a bit far. Is this a reflection of britain today perhaps ?
I tend to think that there seems to be an element just waiting for an event so they can go on a rampage and destroy other peoples property etc. (come to think of it though, isn't that what the now defunct british empire was built on ?)

Working class communities were devastated in Britain because of her policies.
Her role in international affairs was equally belligerent whether in support of the Chilean dictator Pinochet, her opposition to sanctions against apartheid South Africa; and her support for the Khmer Rouge.
