May she rest in peace. She was a remarkable lady and whether you agreed with her or not it can't be denied she was a politician of conviction, something I greatly admired.

As for all the nasty comments, how sad that so many people are lacking in basic humanity and good taste. I've just listened to Ken Livingstone being interviewed and was disgusted that he could be so mean minded at this time. Okay say what you like in private or amongst friends, but not now in public when there's a family grieving the loss of a mother and grandmother.

There's a lot to be said for the maxim, if you have nothing good to say about the dead, say nothing.

RIP Maggie.


Maybe they are of the same ilk as Paris Brown, the teenage tsar being paid £15.000 a year to Twitter Twaddle?

Not seen any nasty comments on FB, but I do think some people are just downright heartless and nasty :(

RIP Mrs Thatcher.
