So, as a stupid American, I know absolutely nothing about this woman. What she basically the British Reagan?

The ultimate in right wing politicians with the face and voice to match

With all these jokes you'd think she'd be spinning in her grave, but as we all know, the Lady is not for turning.

Celebrating an old womans death is fucked up. Wouldn't expect anything less from DSF though, people chat more shit on here than on the DM and the guardian combined and that's saying something.

tbh i'm one of the most conscientious people you're likely to meet and celebrating someone's death isn't really fair.
THIS is an exception to that rule and I believe that wholeheartedly.

If you're not even a little happy she's no longer wasting oxygen it's probably because you're too young to remember, not from the U.K or you/your family made money off the back of her/her governments policies.
I'd wager that upon hearing the news today the vast majority of the British public (those old enough to remember) had the initial response , even if they didn't vocalise it, of "good".

The one thing I'd like to thank Maggie for: serving as a lightning rod to polarize Britain's youth into the '77 punk explosion. She probably had no idea how useful she was for kickstarting the last, best incarnation of rock n' roll before it well and truly died and got stuffed as a museum piece.

Agreed Lazlo. She made the world a much worse place for a whole lot of people for a long time.

She may have been a bitch but it was what the country needed, previously the public companies were all running huge losses and just bailed out by the government since they always knew they were safe. Pushed the British to become more competitive again international trade. Stopped outrageous/ silly strikes from happening within businesses and started to attract more foreign investment into the UK. Someone had to cut the dead weight off draining the economy and glad she had the balls to do it.

this. all you guys celebrating her death, if some shit lefty politician had beaten her in elections this country would still be a fucking european basket case run by the unions. i wasnt alive at the time but my dad was and hes told me how shit times were, but that shit was necessary because unions can't expect to run the government.

Would things have been worse had she not made the decisions that she had?

I'm not gonna try and preach here, I don't know enough about the whole situation to form any sort of valid opinion, one thing I did admire about her was that she seemed to stick to her decisions for the most part, whether it was popular or not, sometimes that's what I think you need. Much more admirable than today's flip flopping, treacherous pile of shite that will say whatever it is we want to hear at that moment.

I wonder if the Blair/Brown government that took us into the "war on terror" and shafted the country financially will be looked back on as scornfully as Thatcher.

[gwa]

STILL INDIFFERENT TBTH TBF URMUM

too young to know much about her to be honest i know the ins and outs but i wasn't alive when she was in office, why are people my age (20) going on about her as if they know shit?

Exactly. It's just a herd mentality with soppy stnuc who act like they are working class freedom fighters when many are highly middle class people talking about her as if their Dad's worked down the mines at the time. They didn't. Fuck off.
Don't know the ins and outs of her policies because as previously stated wasn't alive, but the way people demonise her in comparison to how people talk about Blair and what he did to this country is shameful.
