You sir are an enigma.

I distinctly remember you whinging about the gloating of the Alan Ryan death, saying how it was disgraceful, gutter journalism etc., yet here you are. :pac:

Former Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher has died of a stroke today aged 87.
Her spokesman Lord Bell revealed the news that the former politician had passed away peacefully after a long battle with poor health.
Lord Bell said: 'It is with great sadness that Mark and Carol Thatcher announced that their mother Baroness Thatcher died peacefully following a stroke this morning.
'A further statement will be made later.'
Britain’s first and only woman prime minister, who won three consecutive general elections, has been in fragile health since she suffered a series of minor strokes more than a decade ago.
She suffered acute short-term memory loss and had a series of strokes over a decade.
She spent 11 years in Downing Street, the longest run by any 20th century prime minister.
In 1990, a leadership challenge forced her to leave No 10 and two years later she was made a life peer, as Baroness Thatcher of Kesteven.
In recent years she has led a quiet life cared for by her loyal housekeeper Kate. She suffered a minor stroke in 2002 which left her with short-term memory loss.
Her beloved husband Denis died in 2003 and her children Mark and Carol both live abroad.
Her health was thrust into the global spotlight this year with the release of a Hollywood film about her with Meryl Streep in the lead role.


The Iron Lady drew criticism from David Cameron and others for concentrating on the dementia she has suffered. Miss Streep won an Oscar for the role.
Lady Thatcher was not well enough to join the Queen for a lunch with former and serving prime ministers as part of the Diamond Jubilee this summer. And two years ago she missed an 85th birthday party thrown in her honour by Mr Cameron at 10 Downing Street.
In October she was sufficiently well, however, to mark her 87th birthday with lunch at a restaurant in London’s St James’s district with Mark and his wife.
Iron Lady Baroness Thatcher, the grocer's daughter, who became the longest serving British prime minister of the 20th century, is expected to be honoured with a full state funeral at Wesminster Abbey.
Not since Winston Churchill has a politician been granted such a tribute. During her 11 years at Number 10 she changed not only the face of Britain but the entire world.

Do you think she did it for a laugh? Or because it needed to be done?

No Loss, more people hated her in the UK than do here. I'm sure the Argentines won't mourn here either nor will any true Irish Republican or Nationalist patriot.

She won three general elections in the UK, and when she stepped down her party was still in power. Hardly a sign of being hated in the UK. Us Irish have no need to love her, but she wasnt looking for our love.

No true Scotsman will either.

To be fair to her, she had some good ideas, the problem was that she stole from the wrong class to pay for them.

I'd say there'd be some craic in the pubs of North England tonight

I was born in 1986. Is it okay if I have an opinion?

I don't hate or not hate her, but she's an interesting figure in recent history who certainly left a lasting mark.

It'll be the first time the volley of shots will be fired into the grave instead of over it, just to be sure like.

Not a bit sorry for her.

I would rejoice at the death of Thatcherism

I won't rejoice at the death of another human being

post of the day :pac:

Not sure if The Journal meant their headline :

"Margaret Thatcher, the former British prime minister, has died from a strike at the aged of 87"

I know the '80's were bad for them in the UK..

Mint Sauce

So she had alot of faults. Alot might have strongly disagreed with her politics. But end of the day every PM since has been viewed the same by some.

Maybe the hate posts should wait a while, she's only been dead a few hours.

Condolances to her and her family

Do you "lol" at negative sentiments expressed towards other world leaders, under whom the poor suffered, or who expounded philosophies that onlookers found repulsive?

Since when does someone have to have lived under someone's authority to express an opinion?

I'm trying to avoid a Godwin's law here..

She lowered inflation, made the British economy more efficient in the long run and broke the trade unions strangle hold over the country.

It never does good to speak ill of the dead. Even if just for her family. RIP Mrs. Thatcher the iron lady finally broke.
