WC was the right man for the right time, but the record books show that she was THE ONLY leader who NEVER lost a vote. And she was in power longer than Churchill.

I will say that she succeeded in dividing opinion more than any major western political figure since FDR and that she exceeded both the expectations of many and the authority of her office to a shocking degree. The rest I'll leave to history and the inummerable biased retrospectives that will now be unleashed by all sides of the media, except to say that it is surely going to be a good day or two to bury bad news.

While I do think she was the last real man who occupied the role of PM, I don't believe she was the greatest PM. You belittle the nodding dog with this; "Oh Yes".
I was brought up to respect my elders. I don't respect many people nowadays.

Better her than the Trots who lied and cheated, who opened our borders and who taxed us to death in order to create a benefit society filled with undereducated children with no hope of a future. Still, that is socialists for you, spend all of your money and have nothing to show for it.

I think the correct description of what it's doing is 'looking for trouble'. Clearly I should upvote myself in glee at its success.

If by lose you mean won the the first ballot by securing more votes than her challengers (of the 372 votes, she won 204 of them), then yes, she lost.

I started saving my urine the moment I heard the news. I'm hoping we can convert her grave into a man made lake... :laugh:

Yep. Reduced the Income Tax they paid, brought in more health and safety for workers, ensured we were not frozen out of Markets by EU Regulations, increased competition for essential services resulting in lower bills/better service, broke the back of the over powerful unions so that people were free to work without having their wages docked by the Trots, increased employment, enabled more people to be home owners than at any time in history and encouraged and self-reliance and entrepreneurial society. The Girl Done Good. Better than the Smug Socialist Gifford you are lumped with.

It's really a bit of a dirty trick putting a political statement like that in an RIP thread in the Lounge, where we can't really have a go at her or it. "Greatest" my arse and if you knew anything about the north or England, or Scotland or Wales – actually that's everywhere outside the comfortable south east where she centralised all the wealth, a problem we still haven't dealt with – you'd never say that.

In keeping with the great lady's legacy, Margaret Thatcher's state funeral should be funded and managed by the private sector to offer the best value and choice for end users and other stakeholders. The undersigned believe that the legacy of the former PM deserves nothing less and that offering this unique opportunity is an ideal way to cut government expense and further prove the merits of liberalised economics Baroness Thatcher spearheaded.
