she took no s***T from knowone and dragged Britten kicking and screaming into the 21st centery.

if nothing else she was controversial.
Dragged Britten into the 21st century? Wha'? Do you mean Britney Spears? Thatcher quit (in tears) in 1990 - the 20th century (or centery).
Yes, she was controversial - so was Hitler.

designs said, and it bears repeating:
Thatcher like Reagan unleased the monsters of deregulation and it does goose the economy until the financial gougers and malfeasance hits that predictable wall like our economy did in the late 1980s-early1990s.
Good article, konceptual.

- why don't you give us an idea of how the UK, and indeed the Western world,would be today if Mrs. Thatcher hadn't ruled as Prime Minister.
  Best ask the people of Chile who endured a military dictatorship run by Maggie's good friend Augusto Pinochet.
  Also, ask the people of South Africa; Maggie referred to Nelson Mandela as a "terrorist" and opposed economic sanctions on the apartheid regime. (Any Mandela fans here? Mandela must be smiling to himself right about now.)
  Ask the people of Northern Ireland about peaceful, freedom-loving coexistence while you're at it.

Her death is not exactly the drop of a hat - there have been songs written in anticipation of this event. The Brits (and the Irish) don't have to be liberal to hate Thatcher. And they hate her not for a political label, but for what she did with her power.
As konceptual99 said (and it bears repeating):
she ruined the lives of millions of British people. She viewed the suffering of the working class as collateral damage, a necessary side effect of the smashing of the unions and socialist policy in general. Her policies run deep and are in evidence today - once again to the point where those in need are forced to bear the brunt of the pain of financial policies that favour the haves.
There are many places in the UK that will never view Thatcher as anything other than a disaster for them and their community.

Everyone wants to be immortal. Few are. Mrs. Thatcher is. Why?
Because her values are timeless, eternal. Tap anyone on the shoulder anywhere in the world, and ask what Mrs Thatcher “believed in,” and they will tell you. They can give a clear answer to what she “stood for.”
Hitler, too. Also.

Godwin's law. Thread killing.
Thread is 1) not dead, and, 2) Romney started it:
“England is just a small island. Its roads and houses are small. With few exceptions, it doesn’t make things that people in the rest of the world want to buy. And if it hadn’t been separated from the continent by water, it almost certainly would have been lost to Hitler’s ambitions.”
Aren't you glad he's not the one in the WH having to choke up a comment for the Brits on this auspicious day?
