Is it possible to explain to say a child what the legacy of M.Thatcher
was
in simple terms?

1. Making trade unions more democratic
2. Not allowing one sided nuclear disarmament.
3. Clearing out some of the influence of the old land owning classes.

Any others spring to mind?
I'm not going there. Whether or not we liked her policies she was a
fine
strong woman. I was with her during the Falklands war because all the
islanders want to be British.
I remember it well when the Argentines put their flag up on the
Falklands.
I was at work at the time and I said to my colleagues "this will be very
serious"
It was war. Whether it was right I don't know.
Argentina claim the Failkland Islands are theirs. Britain claims the
Faulklands are theirs, islanders identify as British.
I see this going on and on.
Simple. The islanders are all very clear they are British so bad luck
Argentina when Maggie bombed you to bits.

I can't say I agreed with her all the time, she starved the miners back
to
work as she said they were holding the country to ransom.
Nevertheless she was a remarkable politician. First female prime
minister
we ever had and I hope we have another.
Hey, she was fiercer than me..

In truth she cared litle more about the Falklands than she did for the
miners. The Falklands War was all about saving her political skin.

Thatacher's funeral service was apt today - it summed up her reign -
surrounded by guns, military hardware and instruments of death. This
was the Iron Lady. The human steam roller. She was mad but we are
mad too for tolerating such emotionally cold and dysfunctional
politicians.
