I seem to recall a few years back, there was an incipient controversy, as to whether she would be accorded a state funeral, as a victorious war leader. Be interesting to see what happens.

This will go down badly on here but I don't give a toss, its my opinion....
A lot of people will remember her for bad stuff like the pit strike, Poll tax etc but at that time a lot of what she did was needed, its a shame Cameron does not appear to have the brains or balls Thatcher had.
He may well do but we have no industry left to destroy. |

Weirdly, I don't have any strong opinion on her. Not sure keenly celebrating the death of an ill, old lady is something I empathise with either though.

In the event of a state funeral, will sufficient troops be available to line the route of the funeral cortege because the Armed Forces are so overstretched in Afghanistan?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-22067155Downing Street said Lady Thatcher would be accorded the same status of funeral as the Queen Mother and Princess Diana, but will not lie in state, in accordance with her own wishes.
So does that mean a day off or not? |

My mum was able to buy her own council house because of the Thatcherite government, so for that alone she did some good.

I can't really formulate an opinion because I know nothing of what she did.

Maybe it will co-incide with May Day?  |

I'm pretty indifferent toward her as well, she did some good, she did some bad, it probably evened itself out.
No way does she deserve a state funeral though, no former PM should IMO

She stole my milk when I was at primary school. |
