The Iron Lady R.I.P. - slimwilly - 17-04-13

Today the country says goodbye to the Iron Lady ,Margaret Thatcher,


A woman who rose to great heights doing what she believed in and won world wide respect from country leaders.


The people of the country elected her as the first lady prime minister and the people of this country loved and followed her to the extent that they re-elected her two more times.


It seems that her followers are a respectful bunch of nice people who will be saddened at her funeral and will celebrate the highs of her career,they certainly would not celebrate the death of another politician from another party or wish any hate to them or their family.


RESPECT

I dont share the sentimentality as to many she was a very insensitive and  devisive PM. But as a mark of respect to the dead I will say no more.Save that I am sick of the sycophants who heap praise on her now... but also were instrumental in her demise !!

Equally so, +2 to pitt's comment.

While I think she did a lot of good, I also think she was in power too long (which is never a good thing), and there's plenty to disagree with too.

Respect for the dead.

I dont follow politics  but though she messed up badly  at times  Sad and it is a bit over the top expense for a funeral , but atleast on a better note she took no crap from invaders scum bags n all the crap of today ....

So really what makes people think any  leader since especially now is in any way better !!? ..... look at our .... sorry the rest of the worlds country now ....  :rolleyes

Says more about you than it does about thatcher.

As rebuilt said, look to the future, and not back with 30 years of bitterness.

Well as you don't know me I find that hardly likely. Show some 'respect' for other people's opinions

Re: The Iron Lady R.I.P. - richfzs - 17-04-13

I respect your opinion to disagree with her policies etc.

I do not respect anyone who cannot respect the dead.

I don't remember her respecting the dead on the Belgrano ?

I had no respect for her when she was alive. I afford her the same respect as she gave to poor, vulnerable or disadvantaged people and communities.

I also don't understand respecting someone simply because they've died. We all die. What makes her any different?

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I see a funeral procession, I have a thought for the person in the box, and the people they've left behind. I don't need to know who the person was. Maybe that's a difference in how we brought up.

To clarify, No, I don't think so much public money should be spent on her funeral. I'm not sure that her funeral arrangements should be funded anymore than any other PM's.

I have every respect for her as much as I have for any deceased person. I admire her as our first female PM, but that's where it stops. I loath what she did, and I loathe the pomp she is now being given and the suppression of any dissent.
If she had been given a private funeral I would not have batted an eyelid. As to the people she's left behind, well her children do leave something to be desired .....

Re: The Iron Lady R.I.P. - dBfazer600 - 17-04-13

People who judge others for having a difference of opinion are so narrow minded but that is what I come to expect from those who think they deserve respect but do nothing to gain it and will do all within their power to quash others in having their say through belittling and ostercising them.
