So...she's died...any thoughts?

In her heyday she scorned anyone who showed a bit of compassion to the vulnerable. She would have scorned the sort of people who are posting 'oh it's not very nice to celebrate the death of an elderly woman'. She caused thousands of deaths without a shred of remorse.

Not only the servicemen in the Falklands (British and Argentinian - the Argentinians were conscripts living under a dictator), which was a conflict she caused with her stupid cuts - cutting the garrison even though she was warned that would invite an invasion - but thousands of elderly people who were too poor to put the heating on, people stuck on NHS waiting lists as she starved the health service of resources, all the avoidable mortality, ill-health and disability caused by poverty and homelessness that was the direct, predictable results of her cruel policies.

And let's not forget her support for apartheid S Africa, which probably helped that murderous regime to hang on in there for a few extra years - she attacked Nelson Mandela while Dennis made a few bob out of the despicable racist regime.
