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.

Thanks for this :) I think it's important to talk about everything she did because they're still having repercussions but I am upset by all the posts I've seen today celebrating her death. It's different for me though, because I am a lefty Brit but the first PM I remember is Blair. There are a lot of bad things that happened under Thatcher that I can't remember being different.
