It was a sad news and let her rest in peace. To me she presented the good ol England, when she stand there as a prime minister, Great Britain was still on its own feets and had a policy which was for benefit of the people of England, ever after her political career England as well rest of the Europe has gone downhill. Countries needs strong people with stong opinions and backbone and she had all.
Here is a lot young people who have no experience of that time and only thing they know is the weak puppet leaders which has turnt the World in turmoil.. they just dont know better.
Im not from England but visited there several times.. over the years. Seen the difference !edit on 8-4-2013 by dollukka because: (no reason given)
When Maggie was in power suicide rates climbed. She sent 255 soldiers to their deaths in the ridiculous Falklands War. She had actual blood on her hands as well as the countless other reasons there was to despise her. Why do you think she's so roundly hated? Do I really have to go into details? There are actual street parties going on tonight thrown by people who're old enough to remember her reign of tyranny. I guess they're all wrong and you're right.

Today Baroness Margaret Thatcher died, she was a mother, a wife, a friend and to some a role model. She was also the former prime minister of the UK and many in this country actively hated her politics and polices.
And today she died in her old age of a stroke and then something else sad happened; the nasty people of ATS came out to spread their vulgar and disgusting remarks. I will not name names or threads, the people responsible know who they are and they should be ashamed. It’s not just ATS to be fair, the mass of sheeple on my Facebook and Twitter done the same but I honestly expected more of my fellow members of ATS.
It would seem that expectation was unfounded because today I saw a very nasty side to a few members of ATS that made me feel ashamed to be a member of the same community as these sick individuals. Regardless of anyone’s political disagreements it is not an excuse for to jump for joy over her corpse. As individuals, none of us I would hope would ever cheer as an old lady dies. Yet today because Thatcher was a public figure who lead this country over 20 years ago some of the less that civil members of our community thought it fit to post some of the most vile remarks I have ever had the unfortunate experience to read. These nasty people all came oozing out of the woodwork with their vulgarity and cruelness to cheer with joy at an old lady they had never even knew.
As a fellow member today I hang my head in shame for the first time since Sandy Hook and I have come to realise that there are some very cruel members on ATS. Today these members have shown themselves for what they really are.
I for one despised the political stance that Thatcher supported and I actively hated many of her policies that hit my family hard. But to turn a political view into such venomous hate and joy over hear death, by disrespecting the value of a human life and its passing, regardless of who that individual might have been, I believe is to only diminish my values and political believes. It would seem that some of my fellow members do not my value human life like the rest of us do or our respect for the dead.

I find it Ironic that a lot of you who are outraged over the criticism of Mrs. Thatcher are the same ones who cheered on Gadaffi's and Chavez's deaths.
Yes, some of the comments may have been in poor taste, but that is all opinion based on perception. I am not celebrating her death but I sure as hell won't mourn her either. These greedy pscychopaths deserve no sympathy.

I know that was not directed at me specifically but as the OP of this thread I feel it is only right to tell you that you won’t find a post of me saying Gaddafi should burn in hell

Anybody who's family was destroyed by this woman's politics, and never got justice for it, perhaps has a right to be angry. Some people are open in their expression of hatred, while others keep a lid on it
I keep having to bring this up, but I was brought up under thatcher her policies in Scotland drove my family into poverty during the 1980’s.
I have no issue with anyone making a valid point or stating a valid opinion but in my view dancing on her grave is not a valid opinion its just sick and shows a utter lack of compassion and regard for the value of human life.

I haven't clicked on any of the Lady Margaret Thatcher threads, now I know to steer away from them.
It's never okay to disparage the death of another, but it's for the sake of the woman's family. It is not her that I'm concerned for, she's passed on and beyond us now, it is the grief of her loved ones, and the vile rot they will get thrown their way during their mourning time that is so sad. People should feel ashamed of themselves, for not respecting the mourning period of her family. To hell with the woman herself, what are these hateful, idiotic jack snipes doing to the the minds of the children in that family? How many kids are going to taunt them and harass them simply because they saw their thick-headed parents jumping up and down in joy for another persons death.
I think that everyone is so removed and apathetic to common decency - they don't even recognize what words and malicious thoughts and ideas like this can start - or the harm it can cause. My heart and thoughts go out to her family. I hope they are keeping their children away from the media, and keep them home out of the public eye, until this calms down a bit. It's so sad, what is being done to this family in their time of grief.
