[@cooperization]

Wish we still had her in Charge.

[@kevinlongman007]

Why?

[@Nick-io9uk]

She is, isnt she? Still the same american led neolib domestic & economic policy, neocon foreign policy she introduced to the country, and still ruining it.

[@andydixon2980]

She would be approaching her 100th birthday this month if she were still around.

[@MichaelBosley]

She’d smell a bit by now.

The man who introduced Margaret Thatcher looks and sounds like David Cameron. Was that his father Ian Cameron?

what's the meaning of "count the spoons" when she said "when politicians start to talk about morality, you had better count the spoons"?

Not unseen at all, in national archives.

Many would understand ‘choice’ as being a cornerstone of the Right of Centre creed and hence Mrs Thatcher refers to this e.g. at 15 onwards: Referring to a powerful group of ‘produces’ she condemns such who say in effect ‘you have got to accept “our product”’; i.e. we will ‘force you to do so by monopoly powers or by political mussel’ In the years to come this had an outworking in the: e.g. deregulation of bus services; the development of academy and free schools together with such ideas as compulsory competitive tendering for local authority services. How frustrating is it then that those who wish to vote right of centre have always been denied the choice that the left of centre voter has. Literally until the last election it has to be the Conservatives or nothing. Is there not a glaring inconsistency here? Reform have started the process. Do we not desperately now need, e.g. a Christian Democrat version of the Right to give Right of centre voters the three way choice that the Left have? After all the Right should stand for choice, as Mrs Thatcher has said.
