‘The Iron Lady’ or ‘Mrs. T’ died a long time ago. You might say she ‘died’ in the run up to leaving office. The person who died yesterday was a frail 87 year old who had suffered a series of cerebro-vascular accidents and was in the grip of dementia.
I shall neither celebrate her life nor mourn her death. However, there are few personalities in this world who polarise public opinion as divisively or decisively as she has done. Just like everyone who has ever lived she has done good and bad things in those 87 years. One thing is certain. She was not the saviour of this Country as suggested by Cameron, nor was she the personification of evil.
But for all those who have openly wished her harm over the years or are professing a degree of glee and satisfaction over her death, think on this. I am confident that the person who would be most grateful for the passing of Margaret Thatcher yesterday would be the lady herself.

Thank you for posting that Kev – I couldn’t work out what to write myself but you put it so perfectly…
And by way of courtesy for Moggy’s benefit – I was 17 in 1979, serving in the RAF….
