I won't say that it is sad to hear that Margaret Thatcher has died.

In much the same way that you hope for 'merciful release' for an ailing aged relative, it has been cruel to see her physical decline over the last few years and, should her philosophy prove correct, she is back with her much-loved husband.

And while I disagreed with so very, very much of what she did and what she believed, I preferred her to the current mob. At least you knew exactly where you stood with her, and she generally took her policies to the polls. And she was classier than Heseltine or Major.

There, three nice things said about the dead.

Now I would like my fucking milk and industry back.

Far too many of her staff have reported how genuinely kind caring and courteous she was for it to be made up by journalists, ........and she clearly worked very hard.......so that's my 2 nice comments. Sorry I can't match your three, Brammers. As for getting back our milk and industry, add to that our fucking council houses and properly regulated railways and utilities! TV will be full of reminiscences I'm sure, but will anyone dare to show her completely "losing it" when a Cheltenham Housewife questioned her on the sinking of the Belgrano?
PS. Iike the term Sontag streak! Go for it! You may remember my Mrs Ghandi, which my hairdresser calls my Mallen streak; well that's beginning to take over the whole head now. Soon time to go blonde. I'm determined to be blonde once in my life.
Oh, and look after yourself, was very concerned you took another tumble. Hope all is ok.
