I know nothing about history/politics but here's what I know about Thatcher:
First woman PM!
Battered the gauchos when they were taking the piss!
The Sovs called her The Iron Lady!
Can't think of an old woman in the world whose death I look forward to. Let alone one whose grave I want to piss/shit/dance on. And let alone one who's done the above. I'm prepared to be convinced though.
