Margaret Thatcher has died. Apparently from complications due to a stroke. I really admired the Iron Lady. Tough as nails and a proud Brit. God give her rest.
Cheers, Todd

Fro what I can gather online, she is very controversial on the other side of the pond.
She closed mines, took milk from children, enabled cover ups of police ineptitude leading to the death of 96 soccer fans, dined with apartheid leaders, allowed people to starve, stomped on the lower and middle class. Excuse me if I'm not in mourning today but there's far more to the story than her riding around on a golf cart with Ronnie Reagan
I am not going to comment on her passing.
I'll leave it to the Brits.

A controversial and polarising figure, for sure.
But let's leave the politics and criticism out of this thread, and allow those who want to mourn, to mourn.

Lets have some respect for those who have passed on.
+1. Remember this is a GENTLEMAN'S forum.
She arguably reversed Britain's decline, which, as late as 1979, was thought to be irreversible. She demonstrated that the free world had some fight left in it. May she rest in peace.
And as a nation we were a damn sight wealthier under Thatcher than we are now.
I want to respect the comment about keeping politics out of this thread, but I think a reality check / some balance is called for.
The most important thing to think about is: Will Doc4 have a Stan the Man style tirade about DocZ?
In the UK roughly 50% loved her & 50% hated her.
Exactly 0% thought she was "alright".

it is my dearest wish that she has rejoined Reagan and they are both in the place they so richly deserve.

I'm guessing that the UK are having the same kind of day we had when Reagan died. Similar leader, similarly polarizing.
I'm very politically opinionated, but I feel that that's irrelevant in this thread, as she won't be running for much in the future.
RIP

You mean dead, right?
Would someone be so kind as to repost the great commentary by Phil, who said something to the effect of:
You posted this same crap when Reagan died, but I can guarantee that you won't be doing so any more.
What the heck is wrong with people?
Does hatred cause the death of brain cells?
