As much as i detested the old boot she did have certain qualites (for example a ******* spine) that our recent leaders of today seem to lack..

I'm not going to be breaking into fits of tears at her death though.

The last strong leader this country has had and the strongest since Churchill. Had more ***** than every man currently working in politics.

Like her or loathe her nobody can argue with that.

In light of the pathtetic politicians we have to endure nowadays on any party, her death saddens me, as there is no one who even remotely has any form of leadership quality.

RIP.

Yup, the media will milk this to death as they always do when it comes to an easy story. that's it no more watching the six o'clock news (or any other news for that matter) for the foreseeable future.

As someone who isn't quite old enough to remember the events of her tenure that lead some to have hated her, what (apart from closing a few mines) did she do? Genuine question.

Main ones being:

Privatised public owned infrastrure/industries
Tackled then then ongoing issues with militant worker's/trade unions.

There's good and bad that came about doing the above, and a person's view would depend on who ended up with the sh*tty end of the stick (and there was a fair few).
