I am getting so bored with this "she did this" and "she did that" crap.
It's simplistic and juvenile.
The government at the time did these things. Yes, she was a part of that, and a big part, but unless people are going to dance on the grave of every single member of the cabinet of the time, and every MP who endorsed any of her decisions, and every subsequent cabinet member who had an opportunity to reverse anything they disagreed with and chose not to do so, then it is abundantly clear that there is something else going on here.
She's a woman who dared to be elected at a difficult time and dared not to be the perfect, all-embracing matriarch of abundancy and fertility. History might not have been much more forgiving of a male leader, but I strongly suspect that the rhetoric right now would be very different.
"Ding dong the witch is dead"? Oh please. Society has been calling women witches for centuries, whenever a scapegoat was needed. Yes, as a man she would still have come in for criticism, but I do not for one moment believe that there would be this level of hysteria. She was memorable for many reasons, not all of them being the right ones, but the fact that she was the only woman leader is part of it.
I am from an old Tyneside ship-building/merchant-navy family. What happened there, in my lifetime was a tragedy. But I don't need a scapegoat for it. I don't need a Guy Fawkes to burn or a bogeyman to tell my children about - what happened to the north-east ship-builders happened, and it wasn't down to one super-human woman.
