Margaret Thatcher
12 years ago
Ex British Prime-minister, the only woman to hold the position so far, died yesterday as many of you I'm sure have heard.
I'm curious as to people's feelings on the matter given that many love and many loath her.
The "Iron Lady" made some very controversial decisions during her 11 years as prime-minister, most notably her battle with miner's unions, privatization and the whole Pole tax thing.
Personally I think she wasn't as bad as many say she was and that she did whatever she did (good or bad) for the good of the country as a whole.
I don't agree with all of the stuff she did but I certainly respect her as a person.
Being the first female prime-minister took a lot of will power and if nothing else she was a strong woman without being overly pushy about female rights like a few I can think of from around the same time. She did rather than talked about things and sometimes she did the wrong thing but everyone makes mistakes perhaps...
Many have called her a monster or rejoiced that she's dead in the last few days and personally I find that disgusting.
Calling someone a monster while celebrating someone dying of a stroke is not only hypocritical but it's entirely inhumane...
So what do you guys think?
Do you know who she was?
Do you have an opinion about what she did?

I can't really say, since I wasn't around in those times, but I agree that there's something very wrong with celebrating someone's death.
