Sat on a bench in the park watching children play. Do you think "Well, I'm glad I did all that" or do you jsut wonder "What if I'd just spent more time with my family?"

I wonder if she thinks it was a life well lived.

I wish she'd have spent more time with her family. I doubt Dennis would have agreed though

Like her or not, the one thing about Maggie Thatcher's time as PM is that she made her decisions and stuck to them, rather than all the fannying about we see from the current crop of drippy politicians who appear to be more interested in being 'popular' than anything else.

You can still see the steel in her eyes/countenance though.

Ok, I was generalising ... she wasn't nick-amed the Iron Lady for nothing though

The banality of evil, eh?

Think you'll find it's more of the dispassionate look that countless evil sociopaths throughout history have displayed.

I disagree, she set the mold for current politicians, forcing through ideology despite the evidence of results. I for one would be much happier with more thoughtful considered politicians.

I thought she was just realising that her incontinence pad was failing to live up to expectations.

Anyway.. George 'there is no Plan B' Osbourne is surely the epitome of the Thatcherite 'Ladies not for turning' cobblers.
The economy is going down the tubes. Shall we do anything about it? No. Just more of the same. la la la - I'm not listening!!!

i expect she thinks she was a kickass PM, but given how her kids have turned out, I also expect she feels a tinge of regret.

I don't mind thoughtful/considered.
But the resent lot seem to give more thought and consideration to which policies/decisions will be most popular, rather which are the best ones to make for the country.

is she thinking 'hmmmmm lunch' ?

I imagine that she wishes she'd spent more time in the pursuit of hedonistic pleasures..

I think you've all forgotten her greatest achievement.

Well, I suppose that's one way of looking at it. Another way of looking at it is "she applied the same simplistic pigheaded approach to everything and alienated her colleagues and supporters alike".Posted 1 year ago # -

Agreed

Given that she has fairly advanced multi infarct dementia I doubt there is actually much going on in her head at all

I reckon she probably regrets directing Death Wish 3.

She probably gave up playing with her son when he kept getting lost in the garden.

Whatever, she made a huge impact on our world, I guess she's happy with that.

Some angry and bitter men who probably blame their lives and divorces on what she did during their childhood in the eighties?

Put it this way she will be remembered after she is dead. Which is more that can be said for most of us.

That's just a silly thing to say. There are plenty of people who are remembered after their death. To be remembered for being particularly awful, for example, is much less than can be said for most of us.Posted 1 year ago # -
Is 'being remembered' the best way to judge a life?
I'd say 'being a decent human being and trying your best for your family and freinds' is probably a better way to live.
Myra Hindley's remembered...

she's more machine now, twisted and evil

Just like Peter Sutcliff, Fred West, Pol Pot etc. etc.

That is so, so not true. Which proves how good she was at manipulating the media

Maybe she thinks she was?

If she had folded/conceded in 82 where would we be now?

I didn;t say she didn't think that, I was comparing 'being remembered' as a life goal vs wot I sed.
