As much as she took my milk away from me in school and yes she did make a lot of bad judgment calls it does boil down to the fact that someone has lost a member of there family.

I think that just about covers all bases.

Can't wait for the download. Or vinyl

Yeah i think some in the North really need to get over it. Or get educated about it, one of the two

What about those of us in the south who think flogging off public assets to your mates for dirt cheap prices is disgusting?

Should we get educated, or get over it?  I'm confused.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

I'm Northern. And educated.

No thanks to that evil person.

Happiest day of my life for a long time.

Public holiday?

90% of the people that I have seen slating her were not even born when she was in power. If she affected you personally, yes, be angry. But, she hasn't been in power for many years now, how is it going to make any difference that she is dead.

Other than her family being upset?

Wish people would grow up and stop jumping on band waggons.

I'm to young to comment on this, however people having parties over a death seems completely wrong.

She's hardly Saddam Hussein!

I've got a lot of time for most of what Mrs Thatcher stood for.

Work hard and make something of yourself, and you'll do well. Or sit on your arse and wait for handouts that you think you should be "entitled" to and make do with just getting by.

What some people don't seem to understand is the decisions she took affect all of us today, and in a big way.

What about the South and South Wales Miners? Not just you Northerners affected!

I agreed with her in part that the Unions needed controlling but she went way too far!

She also sold off all the Utilities which is why we are now paying through the nose for our Water/Gas/Electric.
Plus the Pole Tax!

She also gave all the revenue from North Sea oil and gas back to the oil companies.

Then there are the Yuppies and that kind of society add to that giving the Banks free rein etc.

She was THE worst thing that happened to this country!
