Just heard it on the news also.
I feel the same as Grayling, I didn't like her but I would never wish anyone dead. R.I.P Maggie.

Re: Margaret Thatcher is dead
At 87 she didn't have a bad innings. Not surprising as she was in ill health for quite sometime.
She was a very iconic figure. Like her or hate her,her main legacy was being a change maker, rather rare with politicians only Atlee (in 45) could be judged in similar mode.
Perhaps she was of her time. She certainly brought change, far from always welcome but controversial.

"I've never wished a person dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure." - Mark Twain
I hope the funeral procession will take in Liverpool, Teesside (my old home), the old pit villages of the North East and Scotland.
It is not a time to gloat, but wont shed a tear either. Remember her humiliating exit from downing street as a time to cheer ,not now.

That's a shame . . . I loved that one "If I could turn back time" . . . right catchy it was.
Sorry, thought That Cher had died.
