Baroness Thatcher in Hospital

I hope she gets well soon. It doesn't feel right knocking on out to her whilst she's ill.

Spend an hour or so watching all six parts. Very neutral assessment of Thatcher by Andrew Marr.

Hopefully she'll recover soon. Great woman and I think despite your personal opinion of her we can all agree she was one of the last politicians with a backbone and the will to act.

Goodwins Law in 5...4...3...2...1...

Hitler had a backbone and a will to act as well.

But in all seriousness, I will not shed a single tear when that old bat parts this earth.

RIP. One of the last great leaders we've had from a breed of conviction politicians that seems to have all but died out.

Just heard the same thing on the radio.

Deeply polarising but a person with great conviction and strength of mind. All too lacking in todays politics.

RIP.

Hopefully the people who disagree with her political views can put that aside and not give us a repeat of the comments earlier in this thread!

Haha I highly doubt it. She was definitely an icon of the age, having met her once she was very impressive, even in her old age.

I can't see that happening sadly, as she was such a polarizing figure in recent British History.

But I would love to be proved wrong.

Unlikely. But we can hope.

I hated her political views and what she did to the country. However its still wrong to celebrate death. I do feel strongly that she should not have a state funeral

If you believe in humanity and social justice you can't celebrate death, even the death of one who violated both
