RIP Maggi Thatcher

[nickyboy2013]

From grocer's daughter to Iron Lady: Margaret Thatcher the first woman Prime Minister.RIP Maggie, people have many different opinions of her but you cannot deny she was one hell of a woman with a bigger back bone than today's cabinet!!.
Shakespeare says it all - now boast thee, death, in thy possession lies a lass unparalleled.

[huck]

As you say, whatever anyone's opinions of her, she was one of a kind.

Love her or hate her..

She had had a bigger pair of balls than any other PM since Winston Churchill...

R.I.P. Maggie

A very strong, driven woman, just a shame none of her ballsie approach rubbed off any politicians since!

I know my father in law won't miss her passing as he believes she ruined the country.

I hear she's only been in hell for a few hours and she's shut down 4 furnaces already!

I like to think she would have laughed at that.

Absolutely. People seem to conveniently forget the tyranny (and that's not too strong a word) of the union bosses in their 70s heyday. It's impossible for one person to be right all the time but I'm sure history will judge her very positively.

I don't know so much .............

I reckon Boris has real potential.........Slightly mad, but says it as it is & arguably likeable.........UKIP Leader Nigel Farage recently identified Boris Johnson as a future Tory leader he would be willing to work with, raising the prospect of a so-called “Borage” partnership....Now that really could be interesting.

Yes Boris does seem to be more robust than most, but with his almost comedy manner I just can't see him being able to intimidate foreign national governments the way Maggie did.  She certainly punched well above her (the UK's) weight.

If you missed the recent documentary on Boris ( I think it was on BBC), it's well worth a watch.
