Former Prime Minister Baroness Thatcher has died at 87 following a stroke, her spokesman has said.
Lord Bell said: "It is with great sadness that Mark and Carol Thatcher announced that their mother Baroness Thatcher died peacefully following a stroke this morning."
Baroness Thatcher was Conservative prime minister from 1979 to 1990.
She was the first woman to hold the post. Her family is expected to make a further statement later.
Twat of the highest order. When he's not getting lost in the desert, he's organising failed coup attempts in oil rich African nations

A great stateswoman, formidable politician and an awful human being.

obituary of Thatcher - "an advocate of inequality, a friend to dictators and arms dealers, a champion of power and privilege and a scourge of the poor and vulnerable. A true blue class warrior

Thatcher timing.
I'm really gutted I'm back home today. Manchester would have been a great night out tonight.

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.
