Twitter’s going to be interesting today.

The BBC reported some of that, the trolling bit’s all your own.

At least she annoyed the French like no PM before or since…

Hated the woman but seems churlish to celeberate an old senile ladies death.most senile old ladies don’t have a history like hers.

I most definitely was not a fan but I will not be celebrating. End of an era?

Condolences to her family.

Luckily for Mrs T, Call-me-Dave & Gideon have ressurected her disposition for stigmatising the unwell, poor and unemployed.

one thing I’ve never understood about Thatcher for all the hate she gets, if she was that bad, why on earth did the population elect her 3 times?!

I always thought I’d be putting my dancing shoes on when I heard this but celebrating her death feels like it would make me a smaller person and have no meaning given how she was in the past few years anyway.

She did a lot of things I disagreed with at a quite fundamental level but can I summon the energy to still feel that burning anger of 30 years ago? Possibly not.

Probably best to go on time closed rather than elapsed time

Blimey I’ve just got 2 cases of beer and a case of Veuve. Big hole in that lot tonight!

In before the thread close.

Great politician, had true conviction, first woman in that post, turned Britain around from the basket case it was under militant unionism.

There hasnt been another like her since….up there with those from a previous time like Churchill, Attlee etc etc

Gonna be some sore heads in the morning-doesn’t every working men’s club in the north of England have a fund for this day 🙂

Unfortunately the toxic and corrosive legacy she bequeathed to the nation has now been turbo-charged by this pair of braying, inhumane ****s!!!

RIP

Cant agree more.

I miss politicians of the old days, Foot, Thatcher, Tebbit, Skinner etc because even if you disagreed with their politics at least you knew what they stood for unlike todays shower of sh……
