Just imagine the outrage if as a protestant country, people celebrated the death of a pope like this, it's pathetic.

She well and truly f***ed up education, that's for sure. Didn't have a clue, snatched our third of a pint, and told all us teachers wot to do!

I'd venture that it wasn't exactly in top order before her, I was at school under Labour in the 70's and can remember having to share text books, disinterested teachers and ended up with virtually no qualifications. Then had to do it all off my own back once I'd left school, I happen to be of the opinion that virtually all politicians have never done anything that has helped me out.

Sadly I don't think you necessarily needed to be around as her legacy is the division between the "haves" and "have nots" which is still very much present in society today. Her position on Hillsborough has done much to prolong the agony felt by families of the 96. Football fans should remember this.

She remains such a divisive and hated figure I can't believe the country is even contemplating a ceremonial funeral.

Don't understand your logic mate. You admit you have no political opinion of her, but then go on to express political views. Do we respect her just because she was elected? Many tyrants have been elected. That she was the longest serving prime minister? Many (indeed most) tyrants rule their country for a very long time (Hitler, Stalin, Louis XIV, Pol Pot). The working class people who fought in WW2 should despise her for what she did: her principle aim was to destroy the working class voice. As to the Falklands, that was an engineered conflict to win votes at a time when her popularity was at rock bottom. Indeed, without the Falklands, she would probably have lost the 1983 election even to Michael Foot, she was so low in the polls in 1982. Oh she had character and strength all right: a thoroughly nasty and cynical character and the strength to impose it on this country, whatever the consequences.

How would Thatcher have got us out of the mess we are in now? Would she have regulated the banks? Would she hell: it was her lousy government that gave the banks the freedom to destroy our economy in the first place! She might have turned us into a police state, admittedly, as she almost did during the Miners Strike, but frankly I could do without that.

I don't think anyone in this entire thread has quoted one thing she did that benefited the country, other than comments about the Falklands. Doubled VAT? Sold off council houses? Destroyed the trade union movement? Lowered taxes for the rich? Introduced the poll tax? Created the yuppie class? Demonized the working class? Hillsborough and the killing off of football as we knew it? Support for Murdoch and his cronies? Sorry, what am I forgetting?

Excellent post in many ways. To me, the worst product of the Thatcher regime was Tony Blair - the spawn of Thatcher. Tony Blair the Scottish Oxford educated lawyer liar that kicked the English working man in the teeth with war, uncontrolled mass immigration, and selling us out to the hopelessly corrupt and criminal led EU project.

Margaret Thatcher didn't copulate to produce Tony Blair - she cannot be blamed for the warmonger lawyer liar that is Tony Blair. Tony Blair - the Labour Party war leader - that built brand spanking new courthouses everywhere for his lawyer mates and installed Gestapo cameras everywhere to monitor, subjugate and control the English people. At the same time, Tony Blair sold us out to the evil empire that is the EU. Had Tony Blair been around in 1939 Herr Adolf Hitler could have waltzed into England without a shot being fired by giving a £million to Blair as a bribe.

You can never really believe anything broadcast on the BBC propaganda newsagency channels these days. However, if toward the end, Margaret Thatcher was as anti Europe as an earlier BBC transmission said she was then she did have a good side after all. :D

Proven the world over not to work. Outdated

Part of the problem is in the fact that there are probably now too many people in the world. The Earth's resources will soon become too overstretched to provide everyone with a 'Socialist' Utopian lifestyle of idle leisure.

presenting a different slant to the shite you read in socialist worker: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/personal-view/3635244/Thatcher-always-honoured-Britains-debt-to-Pinochet.html

I don't see anything wrong in being socialist as such, but if you're so keen on being one then perhaps you should see first hand what living in a socialist country entails. Talk is already underway in Poland to build a statue for Thatcher, primarily because the people are ever grateful to her massive contribution to their eventual freedom. Their freedom from the politics you espouse that were responsible for untold suffering.

Here in the UK, I cannot think of anything positive that she has contributed. She didn't make things better for the majority, she made things better for the minority. Wealth in the hands of the few and entrenched austerity and poverty for the rest of us.

She was a disaster for this country.

Thank you for posting that link. Excellent article. Chile was a great ally of Britain during the Falklands War and at least Thatcher had the decency to stand by the Chilean General when lesser politicians would not have.

are you on the same planet? supporting the IRA, refusing to see how Thatcher saved an ailing country and transformed it into being a respected, dynamic and successful nation. Being a socialist is easy when the shops are full and your house is warm.

Thatcher oversaw the destruction of the UK production base. Debt trading and property sepculation which destabilised the economy and led directly to the recent catastrophic financial crash.

Decline, social blight and decay is her legacy.

Ahem, at the time of the English Civil War in the 1640s 90% of the land and wealth was in the hands of 10% of the population. Move on 370 years to the present and 90% of the land and wealth is still in the hands of 10% of the population. That's after almost 100 years of recent near socialism in this country. There was also more personal freedom under Thatcher as we weren't monitored 24/7 by Gestapo cameras as later installed by the 'socialist' Blair regime.

Christ, someone expressing commonsense.

Is that the same working people that voted her in three times? Socialist propaganda

Just before the Falklands war, she had the lowest popularity ratings of any prime minister EVER. Amazing what fighting a successful war can do for your poll ratings.

Such a criminal shame Blair had to copy her, but it didn't work for him.

I'm reminded of a scene in Solzenitzhin where the prisoners in a Siberian gulag are called together for an announcement by the camp commandant. "It is my painful duty to tell you that our Great Leader, Joseph Stalin, has passed away. Take off your caps, you scum. Show some respect!"

Three hundred caps are thrown in the air as one.

And what makes you think that the Blair regime was 'socialist'- other than the Mail and the Telegraph, obviously.
