Will we get the funeral procession though the streets or will that be avoided to evade the inevitable rain of projectiles hurled by the nothern hordes descending on London?

 Jeez if she had a state funeral it would probably mean that the twat Blair would be entitled to one too when he pegs it ! |

No sympathy here.
She cost me and 2000 other Swindon railway workers thier jobs.
Not sticking up for her but my dad lost his job in 1972 from the railway, 7 years before she came to power - the downsizing and terminal decline had alreeady started |

Poll tax, selling off the social housing for a pittance leaving a housing shortage, privatization of everything, ruining the railways, closing the mines. Massive decisions that still effect the nation today.

These high profile deaths have a habit of happening together.

Genuine question, what was the flip side that made her liked by some then? |

A lot of Norwegians on Facebook and Twitter are strangely delighted about it all. Odd.
Basically, she's fucked up the country just like most politicians that have succeeded her have done and will continue to do so. Don't see the point in dancing on her grave or crying our eyes out either.

The same thing that always happens in life - some get richer, some get poorer. |

I'm waiting for the one program I want to watch this week get bumped for the inevitable tribute program.
And you're all scabs if you watch it.

First female prime minister. Falklands war. Reducing the power of unions. Positively changed the world view of Britain. Even Blair, Brown and Miliband have all acknowledged some of the positive impacts she made. A lot of people are bitter towards her for personal reasons and refuse to look at the bigger picture. |

She was certainly a strong leader. Reading some of the not secret any more files on the Falklands won her a lot of respect from me. Apparently the Yanks asked us to back off from totally annihilating the Argies when we rolled back into Stanley and Maggie told them to do one.
Just imagine if we had a PM like that for the last 10 years. The entire world be a very different place.
