Thank you to loz and H for your kind words, recently I've found that sometimes it's easier to be a mediator on topics such as this, especially if my knowledge of it isn't as great as others.
Bouquet, I can understand your frustration as Thatcher hasn't been dead long, but either way she still won't be able to defend herself when she's been cremated, or indeed in many many years to come when people look back and try to decide an opinion on her. Some of the decisions she made had such a big impact and change on peoples lives that she always be a bad political figure, regardless of whether she ill, lonely etc. She was a controversial figure when alive, it certainly won't stop now she's dead and most won't let that affect the way they saw her.
