If any of you had ever studied anything about economics you'd be mourning her death - under her rule an economy suffering a ridiculous level of inflation, held to ransome by unions was changed into a globally strong and powerful economy.
Some of her moves were tough, yes, but if she hadn't had the balls to do what she had the ENTIRE UK economy would have entered a GREAT depression, akin to that suffered by Germany after WW1.
Unemployment may have been high during her period in office
privatised hideously unprofitable branches that were previously gvoernment owned (improving profits and cutting customer prices in many cases as a result of this).
She opened the stock markets to your everyday man
over a million families bought their own homes as a result of her policies
Say what you like about her, she made a success of the country in one of it's darkest hours!

You can trace the roots of where we are today, a bankrupt de-industrialised nation that makes nothing, stuck in a tripple dip recession with an even wider gap between rich and poor than ever before and with the same foccing idiots digging an even bigger hole for us all.

Like or dislike, she is dead. She was somebodies mum, sister and daughter. Some of you need to have some respect. Evil?? What a completely stupid thing to say. Some of you commenting are not enough old enough to remember her let alone comment. Shame on you!
