There are some people in life I would wish an early death upon but Margaret Thatcher is not one of them when I compare her to some of the people that commit the most heinous incomprehensible crimes possible. 

Was this woman any worse than all the prime ministers before her and now after?

Haven't they all left this country in debt, reeling and with blood on their hands?

Would I celebrate her death?  No.

Am I sorry that she has died? Again I would answer no as she means nothing to me.

Would I revel in the death of mass murderers like Hitler and Harold Shipman - a resounding YES!

I too dislike her for what I now know she did to this country but at the time, I didn't and was one of the 'mugs' who voted for her so I am to blame for allowing myself to fall for the hot air, spin n' fluff..

I was one of those simple minded females impressed by the fact that she had come up through the ranks and was willing to take on a totally male dominated world-wide political environment - I thought it would be a good thing not just for home grown businesses and issues but for overseas development and perhaps a "female" influence backed by the hefty arm that the good old UK used to carry would swing the lead and calm the masses.

Okay I was wrong... and it is people like me who voted for her that are to blame. 

If there was a "vote of no confidence" that would allow the electorate to force her to stand down as Prime Minister then I would have ticked that box too.

One of my personal friends used to be one of her personal advisers and he has told me that she was an incredibly troubled women torn between so many things... he was one of the casualties in the Brighton bomb, he was staying in the floor above her. 

Liberal/Labour/New Labour/Conservative/Screaming Lord Such - whoever is voted in we are at their total mercy until the next election day and none of the animals reveal their true selves until under the pressure of power and decision making .... Could I have done her job?  Absolutely not.  Would I have made the same bad decisions and choices?  Probably!

She too was someone's child... mother... sister etc ...and I suppose we should view it from that perspective - the loss will be deep and personal.  Ours is purely political and if this present Government is all that they say they are then the electorate who voted for them will be accountable for the damage they cause as I was in the 'Thatcher Years'.
