I’ve waited so long for this day, but as the years have gone on I’ve always raised a little smile hearing of her strokes & her falls.



But at least the de-regulation of the banks left her with a fitting legacy, as for her sell-off of the family jewels – don’t get me started.



Hey ho, the beers are on ice, the savouries in the oven.





It’s party time

Is this in your role as devil's advocate or genuine

It seems rather odd to have 'waited a long time for this day' if you hated her so much surely you would have wanted her to carry on living in a state of dimentia which is a pretty horrific way to live.



She is at rest now surely that's worse for people like you?

Have a bit of respect, she was mother to someone

Yeah, one of them funded an attempted coup in an oil rich African state for his own personal wealth benefits. Something rubbed off the old cow.

According to his old chum Baroness Thatcher probably yes.



That said she was great in Mamma Mia so it's a bit uncalled for some of the comments on here.

A South African's view:

Margaret Thatcher's epitaph should be a fitting: "Good riddance!" She helped prolong our suffering under apartheid.[/i

That she did.

Can not see how that has anything to do with making comments. Not sure if Peter Sutcliffe has children but do we not say nasty things about him when he passes on and the likes of Bin Ladden and less high profile nasty pieces of work were also parents and just because someone dies it does not mean they have to automatically earn respect and even if her children take offence they are probably in a far better state than people whose parents died at Hillsborough, during the miners strike or in the Falklands.

When it comes to an occurrence like this, I have no room for an alternative preference.

One thing's certain, there'll never be another child of a grocer who grows up to lead this country.



Her policies ensured Tesco would put all the grocers out of business

Never really understood that quote, so what springs to mind, or do we respect people just for giving birth?



We still have not fully seen the final repercussions for her reign and legacy and my personal venom for her springs not from being a Miners son, nor a shop floor labourer, not even for the position she and her government left the schools in or the lack of support shown for Falkland vets, it was and is for the specific wholesale pillage of this countries flawed but operational mental health system. Some of the most prime building land in Surrey was ripped from places such as Virginia Water, Epsom, Botleys, and Brookwood, where care and understanding of a massively wide variety of illness was beginning to be treatable with compassion and care, the days of total medicinal blackouts were behind us, and these thousands of people had a place to be safe and to be cared for, until she decided they would be better off on the streets and all of that land made available at pure pennies in the pound for the vultures who supported her to speculate on and build their fortunes with, scum each and every one of them.



Oh and back to her sweet kiddies, in common with the feelings today of the majority, she may well have been a mother, but the best part of them slid down her legs.
