Whatever your leanings, people now laughing/gloating about the death of an old woman... well I find that incredibly distasteful.

Coming up from humble background (unlike the recent bunch of public schooled poofters, including the "workers party" ones!), knocking back the Marxist influenced unions who were a serious risk to the nation, avoiding practical national bankruptcy and giving the Argies a good shoeing. Worthy of respect even if you disagree with parts of the history, I think even a lot of her mortal enemies in government have shown her that much.

Or is Thatcherism enough of an excuse to cast aside all semblances of honour and decency?

Quite right. I wasn't old enough to be terribly political at the time, so it's dead easy to look back and judge, but I can't without doing it from the deeply favourable position of coming from the future. Which is kind of cheating.

From what I've read I'd have been with her on a lot of issues, and against on a few, but currently we have a choice of PM's who are only interested in being in power and making money for their mates. And that's all 3 of the main parties.

RIP

Well I don't agree with all Mr Routledge wrote there,but the gist of it is pretty much my view of the Thatcher years too.

Beanfield. Criminal Justice Act. Clause 28. I'm glad the <removed by Mod> is dead and will be seeking out her grave to <removed by Mod> on it. Greed and profit for the individual over any sense of community. Honour and decency (yorkie_chris et al) were not in her vocabulary and (IMHO) she deserves neither.
