The British Press At It's Best

None here... I believe many, many people just follow the baying crowd because it's 'hip' to do so. Shame the sheep don't learn to be individuals really.

You may be right that some 'follow the crowd'. But don't let that blind you to the visceral dislike of Thatcher among many who lived through her premiership, not least those who were directly attacked by her policies. The merciless style of her leadership and rhetoric makes it inevitable that there is still a lot of genuine (not sheep-like) dislike of her.

Absolutely! The only PM in British history that attacked people directly with her policies! Throw her to the Lions!

That's not very good. Feel almost sorry for Pierce, he's not a bad writer but that was a real hospital pass.

'We've got this picture of the old battleaxe sitting on a park bench, 1,000 words please, make it snappy, and remember, we love her here.'

You may be right, but use of the word 'hound' instead of 'dog' is surely inexcusable!

Obviuously someone who divides opinion, but I would say she had more balls and had more presence than any of the muppets we've had in power since!

as did Sadaam, Gadhaffi, Assad, Belusconi, Franco, Genghis Khan... your point is?

Which is why there is no point debating the pro's and cons... incredibly juvenile post.

it was a deliberately juvenile reply to a ridiculously juvenile post - did you read it?

Having read some of the comments at the bottom of the article, I find myself agreeing with this:

Amazing the way she's morphed into her spitting image puppet.
