Keep it civil in here please, regardless of personal opinions a woman is dead.
That said, she will not be receiving a state funeral it seems.

Liverpool was second city of Britain.
Thatcher came.
Liverpool wishes it could be Detroit.

She was president Reagan's best friend, and to a good chunk of the planet, they're just a couple steps above of Adolf the meme-maker in terms of despicability.

Well to be honest... the Poll tax thing was pretty unfair but she has shown to be a great leader in times of crisis .
No matter the Falkan wars or the colonial handovers or even the economic revival of the entire country .
Credits where its due , she served her country well.

That seems ridiculous.
Comparing a woman who's economic policies differ from yours to an extreme social darwinist is absolute bullshit.
In any case, she died peacefully and lived a long successful life. Not tragedy in my opinion, but still, she was a great woman. |

She is being cremated, probably to stop people disrespecting her grave.
She is adored in some circles, and despised in others. Deregulation has not improved the British economy, the recent collapse indicates that. Most of the increase in GDP went to the top bracket, the majority outside London has stagnated and in many cases reversed.

Certainly a very controversial figure, but there is no doubt that the entire UK is a different place utterly than before her 'reign'.
And during the 80's the combined conservatism of her and Reagan at the same time seemed ominous to a lot of folks, understandably.
But, she was indeed a very powerful figure and image.

The Iron lady who sent the Royal Navy on the Argentinians when they flexed their muscles. Not just to get them off the Falklands but to encircle the enemy and force a surrender.
She had fortitude. I liked her... Had no idea she was still alive to be honest.
The movie about her was good too. Meryl Streep as the lead.

Oscars have nothing to do with good movies, They are specific set of awards for a specific set of "Oscar bait" movies (see Kings Speech and so on)

I for one will mourn her loss. While I dont agree with everything she did, she certainly left her mark.
And unlike the current crop of MPs, she truly had balls.
In a way I'm glad shes gone though, through her dementia she was a shell of her former self and it must have been a terrible thing for her family.
And baltec you're probably right. I wouldnt put it past them.

Agreed for the most part, and "The Iron Lady" was certainly one of those. But then they do right sometimes like "LOTR: Return of the King" and "Amadeus".

Truth.
Yet, she said what she believed, did what she promissed (if at all possible), and demonstrated leadership in a time that badly needed it. She had a personal level of intgerity that has been historically lacking in the 'head of government' ranks. To many people in eastern Europe, especially, she's a hero.
Leadership doesn't always mean that you have a vision that all people agree with, only that you're able to get them to where you intend to go - Whatever may be found in that place.
Love her or loathe her, she's a signpost in history - people will use her to mark time: 'Before' and 'After' Thatcher.
Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

Your point would be clearer if you used a different example than someone who passed in 1940. Even I had to 'look him up'.

History, despite what you may have been told, is good for you. It is not baggage, it is context. Neville is one of those guys current academia tends to be ashamed of. He so clearly held the same sentiments they now do, and he so clearly demonstrated why acting on those sentiments fails. But that is a different discussion.
Thatcher and Reagan were most hated by the press, and by leftist elites, because they stood up to a Communist bully when everyone else said "shhhh, you'll make him angry." It's the same ridiculous impulse that makes Dennis Rodman say Kim Jong Un is a great guy. It's the same impulse that makes Jimmy Carter pronounce Venezuela's election process to be the best in the world because they have touchscreen voting. It is absurd theater, and heaven forbid someone like Thatcher or Reagan come along to disturb it with visions of reality.

Thanks.
But the use of 'leftist elites' generally anymore means 'intellectuals'.
