Those who are spouting how wonderful she was is needing s reality check. She decimated our coal and steel Industries, now we have to import both, unemployment peaked at 3 million due to her policies and 2 boom and bust economical disasters were her fault. Remember the yuppies who lost all their money hurling themselves off high buildings!! Even her own party got rid of her in the end as a liability and an election loser. Then we got John Major.

The only ones to benefit were the Falkland Islanders and the already rich who got even more richer.

Up here she used Scotland to experiment with her policies because we didn't vote for her she had nothing to lose. We got the poll tax and steel closures first!!

I get the feeling that I might be in a minority here, but if you grew up in the 70's, whatever class you were, you might remember the alternative?

Powercuts, the 3 day week, strikes all the time, rampant inflation, rubbish piling up the streets, the chancellor having to go to the IMF with a begging bowl because the country couldn't pay its bills.

Remember she was elected 3 times, and never lost an election. I'm not a big fan of labelling people with some "class" tag, but large numbers of "working class" people (whatever that means) voted for her over and over again.

She was also the last politician that I can remember who actually said what she believed. Agree or disagree, what you saw was what you got. We could do with a bit more of that.

So I'll be wearing a black tie tomorrow, and if anyone doesn't like it, they can kiss my @55.

am too young to really know anything about maggie and what she achieved. My next day neighbour was 80yrs old and she only listened to the news. And she used to have it so loud we could hear it in our house. Bt, as soon as maggie came on she would start screaming at the tv calling her an old cat. She hated her. Never did find ot why

I grew up in the 70's and 80's and at the time I absolutely despised the woman. I still despise her policies. I despise the conservative party, but by the same token I can't trust the labour party to run the country without hashing it up.

However, as has been said, there was no doubting her. If she said she was going to do something then she'd do it.

But I will never forgive her for selling off the family silver. imho it's a direct result of her policies that we're in the mess we are now.

If only we had a scottish pm with enough foresight to hang on to our gold reserves.

WAIT A MINUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish her a peaceful rest.
I didn't agree with all her policies but she showed the Trotskyist union leaders that they didn't run the country for their own benefit.

RIP Mrs Thatcher x

She would have had the north crawling round in the gutter giving half the chance. Typical Tory scum. Rob from the poor and give to the rich. She ruined the industry in this country and left us more or less reliant on the banking industry. She covered up the deaths of 96 people and left families suffering for years over the lies told about them.
She put people in prison for trying to protect there jobs. She introduced the poll tax and again put people in prison for defying this!

Bye bye good riddance!
