Margaret Thatcher dies of stroke aged 87
Baroness Thatcher, Britain's greatest post-war prime minister, has died at the age of 87 after suffering a stroke, her family has announced.


By Gordon Rayner and Steven Swinford
12:57PM BST 08 Apr 2013

Her son, Sir Mark, and daughter Carol confirmed that she died this morning.

Lord Bell, her spokesman, said: "It is with great sadness that Mark and Carol Thatcher announced that their mother Baroness Thatcher died peacefully following a stroke this morning. A further statement will be made later."

Known as the Iron Lady, Margaret Thatcher governed Britain from 1979 to 1990.

Yes, the Christian thing to do is to show respect for the dead, communicating it via a homily about how Margaret Thatcher showed disrespect for the living.

I loved growing up in the Reagan-Thatcher era, she was a fabulous example.

RIP Iron Lady!
 
Lady Thatcher is beyond celebrity or entertainment, this was moved to the wrong forum IMO.

I wonder if anyone will remember how she was a supporter of the South African apartheid government? And how she stonewalled peace in Northern Ireland for years...
 
Him too.

Remember Bobby Sands and the others dead in the hunger strike because of her.

I feel about as much sadness at her death as I did at Reagan's. I'll let you guess how much. :rolleyes:

In all the accolades for Thatcher that I've been reading today, I noticed something funny. All the social conservatives heaping praise on her never mention that she voted to decriminalize homosexuality and to legalize abortion.

I guess "pro-lifers" are willing to overlook that little detailif someone is willing to lower their taxes (at the expense of the working class and poor, I might add). :crazy:

That’s because they only use those issues to keep citizens divided and preoccupied from discovering their real agenda – corporate ownership of our government. JMO
