Trajan exaggerates but the time for reform had come, and reform was necessary, and it was Maggie.
Was she necessary: yes.
Was she as good as folks think: no but better than what her detractors had to say.
Was she better than Ronnie: Crusader Frank would have been better than Ronnie.
The socialist longtime PM, Tony Blair, had this to say about her:

Former Prime Minister Tony Blair has described Baroness Thatcher as "a towering political figure" whose legacy will be felt worldwide.
Mr Blair said Lady Thatcher had always been "immensely kind" to him.
He added: "I always thought my job was to build on some of the things she had done rather than reverse them.
"Many of the things she said, even though they pained people like me on the left... had a certain creditability."

do I need to school you some more?
You have been paddled, Trajan, by me. I agreed with most of your stuff but pointed out that you exaggerated. You did. Now go listen to Tony Blair at the link.
Did you miss the "Ted Kennedy Died" threads?Instead of listening to the insipid Left who can't stand that somebody like Margaret Thatcher could have had any kind of positive effect on anything--she is the antithesis of all that is good in their eyes--let's look at some of the testimonials from some of the U.K.'s greatest statesmen.
(And then wait for the insipid leftists to cherry pick anything they can interpet as negative out of this and ignore the profound truths of her contributions expressed):

Good on ya'll who see it as honorable to honor such a great lady. And shame on you who would literally trample in glee on her grave.
Knowledge is good because you would know about Thatcher's achievements and legacy and that Texas is not landlocked. Seriously, do I have to explain to you that knowledge is good? I imagine it's a bit of a tautology to most. However, I do realize there are a lot of intellectual runts and dingbats about.You need to read history and educate yourself. You might then understand things like Thatcher, her era and that Texas is not landlocked. You don't need to be a dingbat all your life. Read my sig, which for the like of you is not in jest.
Are you claiming that unemployment didn't rise to 10% under Thatcher?
Step up to the plate, big boy. Show me how "knowledge is good".
Oh, are we taking snapshots to make a point? Sanitation strikes mean that the gov't should get tough?Trajan exaggerates but the time for reform had come, and reform was necessary, and it was Maggie.

You know it by heart. Rightwingers always jump right to the personal insult.

....you know Jake, after having to read your 'verbiage' for a coupla of years, I must say; you do have a singular idiocy, you're the only one here on scale that makes a non informative, declarative statement, does not back it up when asked, then tells someone who has, they have been administered punishment for some illusionary offense you yourself cannot even quantify....... you're a simpleton jake......you can bottle that idiocy and name it for yourself.![]()
The wingnuts are working overtime on their Photoshop.
Don't confuse clear-eyed, clear-headed objectivity about her record with 'hate'.Margaret Thatcher was an absolutely great leader. A true "Iron Lady". She will always be up there with other great leaders throughout history.
It's also very say that some people have to go negative on her on the day of her death. Also those who wish Obama would die, you people are just as sick.
