I would never have voted for Margaret Thatcher ( nor any of her successors ) but to term her as EVIL is pushing things a bit IMO. I guess it depends on your personal definition of Evil - to me it means intentionally causing mayhem, destruction and death to either an individual or to as much of humanity as possible. She was a Tory politician thru and thru and made the same errors of judgement which continue today. However, she did at least highlight the role women could play in politics. I agree with @BenCotto - celebrating her death in such language as was used at the time was both pointless and thoughtless. She had family and such sentiments must only have made her demise harder to bear for them. The late Queen is slightly different but the same rule applies - I'm not a monarchist and her death meant nothing to me personally ( I didn't know her ) other than an end of one era and the start of another. She still has family who mourn and all of us, of whatever political persuasion, should respect that.
Here Here @Punkdoc. She was vile and vindictive. Didn't care at all about the people she was putting out of work. She also taught a generation to be selfish and to grab what they could whilst stepping on others to do so. She is the only person I have truly hated.
the biggest local city near where i live saved the uk monarchy in 1930's by sending you our biggest gold digger.
As for former queen I doubt you could find a better representative of the uk.
As for the what uk needs in a leader figure head or not that person does not exists. the UK needs a superhero that people trust, follow and support. because tough times are ahead economically and demographically.
@war garden 572 the UK is not alone in needing a super hero - hard to find tho aren't they ? Forget those who have died - we still have the the idiots in Russia and Sudan ( plenty elsewhere too ) who need their heads banging together. Manufacturer's of arms could do with a bit of sense knocking into them as well. Anyone got a Batmobile
People are more openly discussion abolishing the monarchy because the queen has gone. I think they didn't do it as much before out of respect.
I'm ambivalent on the whole thing. I have no problem with a king or queen but equally don't have any interest in any of the pageantry, so will do as I have with all these events and go out somewhere. I'm genuinely interested to see how busy it will be outside as I think that gives a more realistic representation of how people feel about the whole thing.
