I could continue this indefinitely but I am getting too emotional. Supporters of the Iron Lady think hard about your values. If you got rich you were either a city boy or new someone that was. Period. Everyone else suffered.

[thatcheritescot]

@MrGazzzwp get lost u moralising little man. u know nothing. and the fact that u paint every thatcher supporter as an uncaring millionaire shows just exactly what kind of nasty little person u are. its everything that u accuse her of.; its gutter politics of the very worst kind. u should b ashamed!

[gazzzwp]

Every opposition question hits it's target like an exocet missile; they are all true. Selling off council houses was shameful; selling off public assets that virtually all now belong to non British companies was shameful; the poll tax was shameful etc etc etc. Yes winning the Falklands back was a success; without North Sea oil revenue, I believe her rule would have worked out very differently indeed. She caused an enormous amount of hardship, the legacy of which is still keenly felt today.

[thatcheritescot]

@gazzzwp funny how not one thing u mentioned in your comment had anything to do with her downfall and none of it was reversed under labour. must hurt to know she won the big battles

I watched this live. THAT was leadership. This still brings a lump to my throat. Britain was in an absolute mess before her Premiership with an economy 65% the size of France. Now it is 5% bigger. Where would we be today if she had not been Prime Minister? Impoverished, ignored and still living under the Soviet Threat.

[DiotheCypriot]

@expattaff69 Don't forget the "without reccession part"! One of the most prominent figures that pushed bank deregulation!

[Spindry96]

What a horrible voice

[Reject2humanity]

I love you Margaret. If only Britain had a leader like you today, we might return to a time of prosperity for all and not making the poor poorer and the rich poorer.

[simpleasLiam]

@thatcheritescot well said!!!!!!!!!!

Extremely gifted orator & giant on the world stage. She was rightly a fierce defender of the free market & many will wish they'd listened more intently to her views on the single currency, most prescient. None of this excuses her apparent contempt for the working class, the lack of will to regenerate & create opportunities in the industrial cities (in the north east & southern Wales in particular) & her utter disregard for the importance of social cohesion. Strong? Sure. Wise? Not always.

@RJGMovie

Hear, hear!

[RJGMovie]

Britain needs her back? .....EUROPE NEEDS HER BACK! She predicted the Euro collapse 20 years ago and that the smaller countries (like here in Ireland) would suffer.

[markflack]

I think that she was a great! Real balls and attitude. Whether her policies were right or wrong for the country, she stood and defended them!! Hats off to you mrs T..
