Sad news.  She was a great leader.

during a stint at 8th and I in DC I had a chance to briefly meet the Iron Lady. She was a sweet and caring lady and I would say the UK has lost one great lady.  :salute

During my time in the RAF, at one point I was stationed at a VIP base near London. Mrs Thatcher was a frequent flyer
and always went out of her way to come over and talk to us guys who had to stay late for her flights.
Prior to her being PM we(the military) had really poor pay and little or no respect, soon after she took power
we had a large pay raise and funds were more rapidly available for training and exercises.

Very sad news indeed.

I really liked her when i was a young lad, It was right around the time of the Falklands War (I was maybe 8 or 9) I remember sitting with my pop asking him who she was and what it was all about...after a long explanation, i decided the very next week to do my first ever book report on her.....

Heard someone say today that "she is proof that our daughters can shatter glass ceilings"   :aok

RIP

Sad to hear of her passing, still mixed feelings about her politics. We have a former PM down here who once described a "recession we had to have." Maybe she was in the same position. Even my dyed-in-the-wool labour Brit colleague conceded she pretty much shattered the Old Order, for better and, no doubt, for worse.
