U will be sadly missed one of the most respected people of all time, and a massive boost for women everywhere when she was pm :-), and one of the most influential people of my generation what she did was amazing.

i wunt let my dog lick her

PAH! Load of crap she sold off most of the countries assets, not missed one bit!

hate her, hate her, hate her. she is as responsible as anyone for this countyrs economic demise, YORKSHIRE MINERS, im Rotherham (south yorks) born and bred, probablt the centre between here and Barnsley, of the countrys coal industry a leading financial export for the country which thatcher ruined and put mant honest men out of work and the knock on affect in this area has been drastic, i cant put in words what i think of the women, id be banned.

Can't stand the woman, sad that she has died like but i don't think many people will miss her.

Dont often agree with derik like but he is spot on!

It feels like a hundred years ago, or it could just be last week
When they stood on a freezing picket line and history took a turn
When communities refused to die or turn the other cheek
And what did we learn, eh? What did we learn?

For a year the pit wheels stood stock still,
And money dwindled, then ran out
But collectivism's hard to kill
And if you stand and listen, you'll still hear them shout...
But what did we learn, eh? What did we learn?


British PM Margaret Thatcher in 1984
British PM Margaret Thatcher in 1984

It feels like just a week ago, or it could be a hundred years
When the police vans charged with their sirens on through the silent weeping streets;
And they cooked and marched and argued through a mist of pain and fear
And a shut down pit's a symbol of depression and defeat
So what did we learn, eh? What did we learn?

The past is not just Kings and Queens, it's those like me and you
Who clashed with a woman at Number 10, who had to stand and fight
Cos when your way of life's being smashed to bits, what else can you do?
As the pickets braziers glow and smoke in the freezing Yorkshire night;
What did we learn, he? What did we learn?
Buy frozen peas where the braziers burned
What did we learn? What should we learn?

scab, scab , scab, scab, scab,scab,scab,scab,scab

LMAO Joe its sad that she died but yeah I wasn't a fan of hers either and from people I've spoke to well she doesn't seem to have many fans out there.

I'm a fan, she did some good :-) ill keep my views to myself ;-)

she did no good matty pal, when u take your daughter to school and realise that half of her classmates aren't of british origon, or u get wallet nicked, or your cash card cloned, or your sister gets adiicted to mcat, or u fill your car up and it takes half your wages,just remember Maggie thatcher and her extreme conservative policies put the worlds securest nation under financial hardship, yeah she did a lot for women lol, ever thought cos half er population are women, hence to get there backing

She came out with some very unpopular policies that were needed. You wont find many PMs with the balls to do that nowadays, they're too concerned about getting the vote next time round.

Awesome woman.

i presume you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth

SCAB

Far from it

She aint liked up in here in Yorkshire for the reasons derik_dalton as mentioned, so i think there might be quite a few BIG parties up here and most definitely a HUGE celebration when its the day of her funeral

well if that's the case, if u can list me any policies that did the country good, that can come anywhere near to making amends for what happened with the miners and the knock on affect and the consequences after, then i shall apolagise

well said rev, got to nip off, love to hear peoples thoughts pro and con...., tbc and ill argue till cows come home

R.I.P Baroness Margret Thatcher

Will be missed by many (not by all though so dont have a go at me for this post) What she did was amazing IMO especially the Faulklands if she didnt send troops to war there, we may not be where we are today.
