I agree with what you say Valli, she did nothing for the advancement of other women indeed I felt that she set up Edwina Currie with the business of salmonella in eggs to distract us from the poll tax and other unsavoury matters, I also find it strange that some folk are asking for respect for her family when they clearly couldn't get far away enough from her.

Okay, just a few points to remember,
It was a labour minister, Edward Short, who actually abolished milk for secondary students.
Children up to the age of seven were still provided with milk.
Thatcher was actually against the policy but was forced into it by the rest of the party.
She was staying at the Ritz because she was struggling to cope with stairs, and lets be honest if you had enough money and a choice between the ritz and a care home which would you choose?
As for the mining industry it was one which needed to be controlled before they were able to control the country. Had they not got greedy with power then maybe there wouldn't have been the issues that had arisen.
I'm only 21 so I wasn't even alive for any part of her time in office however all it takes is a little research to find out these facts. So for those of you who who have all these disgusting comments to make about another human dying, think about your frail mother who struggles with stairs and who has maybe done things they regret because they have been pressured into them and how you would feel if on that persons death people started saying some of the above comments. How would you feel? A rarity - congratulations. I suspect you won't be one of the usual young suspects to use her death/funeral as an excuse to get drunk on cider and smash things up. I truly will never get my head around people partying over someone's death.

Can't get my head around celebrating anyone's death to be honest but that's just me.
No matter what she did (or people believe she is responsible for) she's still someone's mother.

I think that when a prominent union leader dies, I'll organise a p**s up. Anyone care to join me?

At the end of the day, she was an 87 year old women with dementia. But I can understand why others would be so happy she'd gone given the damage her brand of neo-liberal economics have done [and are doing] to this country.

Just unbelievable, there has been a big celebration party on St Georges Plateau in Lime Street, and some were waving placards and an effigy of Mrs Thatcher which they have destroyed but some had an Argentine Flag. For G-ds Sake who are these people, not normal sensible people surely, I am ashamed of Liverpool and to be thought to come from this area of Merseyside.

Sorry to jump in late but you think that is bad you should see the goings on in parts of scotland over this. Im a countryman myself but its horrendous and downright shameful. No respect.
