All I can say is how did she last 11 years as PM if she was that bad? I tell you before she came to power our country was on deaths door. She was immense and yes it was tough but she was one of the best things that happened to this country. All the people on here who disagree and like chucking abuse are just pathetic, childish and have no respect. I'll have a quiet drink and toast to her tonight. For those that want to reply to this with a derogatory comment, I won't bother replying its not the right time and I can't be bothered arguing with uneducated , inverted snobs that can't keep quiet on a day when someone dies and families and friends are in bereavement.


If that is so could you please explain as to why crime figures, homelessness and poverty under her tenure went significantly up and why educational standards and healthcare levels went significantly down?

Hopefully her legacy will die with her. We are still suffering from her menage a trois with Reagan and neo liberalism.


Exactly. Which is why the Lady provokes still 23 years after being evicted from No.10.

See that nasty unemployable anti-social chav drinking too many alcopops and holding a nasty pitbull?

It didn't exist in early 1979. But, by early 1989 the first crop were about to be released onto society.

And her three boyfriends aren't much better.


What a load of absolute rubbish!


I lived it. You didn't.

Doesn't mean your memory is correct.

The rise of the chav and ladette was most definitely the 1990s.

For all the hate espoused within this thread, does anyone think that any other ex-PM will have as many positive comments when they die as Mrs T has?

apparently one of the most popular Twitter hashtags (whatever they are) today is #nowthatcherisdead.

Cher has put out a statement confirming she is still alive.

Quote Stirlingsays at 08 Apr 2013 2.33pm

Thatcher has a mixed legacy.

Her haters find it too hard to point to her success or instead find negatives even within them.

The reality is that every main party's politics are wearing her clothes to some extent. She won the economic argument....Well at least with them if not with the 'head in the sand' ideologues who thing that continuing with Foot was preferable.

For that was the choice we had, Foot or Thatcher, no one else.

In my view she deserves all the respectful recognition that she will officially receive.

As for the immature hate angst she receives from some..In my view no one of any real significance really cares to hear it: it's childish.


Indeed Stirling a lot of the vitriol being espoused is being typed on to keyboards from council houses bought under Thatchers tenure....

You are no stranger to vitriol Jimmy - that party play list you and your rich Venezuelan mates did when Hugo Chavez died. Can I borrow it?

There's an impromptu party kicking off next door and I said I bring some music.

Funny how the sun has come out!

There are numerous comments about her attack on the miners but does any one know how many mines have been reopened since 1997. if they were so economical surely Labour would have rushed to appease the unions but they did not proving her right. The seventies were an on going disaster for the Uk with many over manned industries left behind by a new breed of industrial nations with a lower cost base that ultimately led to the death of industry in the Uk. She may have an uncareing bitch but she moved Britain out of the dark ages.

Twas early 1990's in truth that it all began - the rise in teenage alcohol consumption and the start of binge drinking from sweet bottled drinks marketed for young people - but the foundations were being laid well in advance.

To be fair, I'm not sure we can really attribute mainstream cultural and sociological changes purely down to political parties. It plays a part but only a part.

There are other large factors involved and looking abroad we can easily spot negative cultural equivalents in other countries who never experienced Thatcherism.

It's just an easy excuse.

It's called Big Business, stirling. And didn't Mrs T like to give those fellas an easy gateway to the UK consumer. It didn't matter what they selling - alcoholic drinks for 15 year olds? yeah, why not? Good tax revenue and a little contribution to the Party coffers.
