Always liked her.
God speed, Mrs. Thatcher.
She’s crushing unions in heaven now 
Her and Reagan. May they both rest peacefully. Two warhorses and the 2 of the best leaders each country ever had.

Though it focuses on her Alzheimer’s, the movie “Iron Lady” is still inspiring and worth your time.
Loved her! RIP
Thanks LB, I’ll rent that one this weekend.

Being a child of the 80’s and growing up with the examples of Reagan and Thatcher certainly let me down for the “leadership” that followed as I’ve gotten older.
RIP Mrs. Thatcher. You were one of the good ones.
You’ll love it. Some of hers and her father’s speeches made me want to applaud. I can’t wait until my daughter is old enough to watch the movie with me.
Cool deal. I love movies like that. I am currently rewatching the HBO miniseries John Adams and there are moments in that series that make my eyes water.

Like every time Jefferson spoke?
Amen brother. Half the reason for watching that series is just to hear him speak.

You read my mind. It’s no wonder men like Washington, Jefferson and Adams could inspire a successful revolution against seemingly insurmountable odds.
I always admired Thatcher, may she rest in peace.
I’ll be renting that movie as well, thanks for the tip.
Approximately 10 years ago a large 2 volume Biography (Autobiography?) came out. It is well worth the read. A friend of mine gave me one of the volumes and I read it straight through.
I have it around here somewhere but could not find it just now to reference it for this post.
Again, well worth the read.
Having graduated from HS in 84 and spending 86-87 in Germany, Reagan and Thatcher had a great impact on me.
The world is poorer for her passing. And the likes of her will be sorely needed in the time to come.

Always admired and respected her. The lady had courage and willpower, and was a great ally. I’m afraid there are no more like her and they couldn’t operate effectively or even get elected anymore. The world has changed too much, and not for the better. The comments on British websites about her are truly disgusting, but I’m not surprised. It would take a Maggie to save Britain from itself these days.
It truly is sad what has become of the UK from where Mrs. Thatcher left it…and ours from where Pres. Reagan left it.

Mrs. Thatcher at her best in the House of Commons debating Socialism.

The LAST PM with any balls.
“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.” - Margaret Thatcher
Damn shame that hollywood travesty of a film decided to focus primarily on her later health issues. You think they’d salivate for the story of a strong, effective female leader of an entire nation.
Good night Maggie, we are better for having had you here. If there is a good place, you’ve earned your spot.
The last two real leaders either country has had.
Very underrated series. Not enough explosions or freeing the slaves for most people. Just talk, talk, talk and usually about boring political stuff they don’t comprehend. Needed some Lincoln killing vampires or something.
