Mrs Thatcher was the best British Prime Minister the U.K. has ever had since Sir Winston Churchill - I remember her leadership when I was a teenager growing up in Rural Ireland in the 1980’s and I knew that she and our Fianna Fáil Taoiseach Charles J Haughey TD were great friends - she never got on with Jack Lynch as Taoiseach, but I was surprised that she never got on with our Fine Gael Taoiseach Garrett Fitzgerald - I’d seen her work with the Northern Ireland Peace Process and I loved her attitude towards the IRA and Sinn Fein, towards the EU and towards the Falklands - were she in power today she would have approached many issues in a much better and stronger way and having had the measure of many, born of instinct, she perhaps knew that the leaders that came after her would be far weaker, they reversed many of her policies after she left office - we will never have a leader as strong as her in my lifetime - in my 22 years living in the U.K. at age 53 all of the leaders have been weak

Greatest…debatable. Strongest and most impact on gb and world…definitely

[@baysideharpy8350]

She was magnificent and I feel so privileged to have been there under her leadership. I can’t remember who said it but I love this description “she had the legs and lips of Marilyn Monroe and the eyes of Caligula” 😂

She was fabulous - a true inspiration for men and women alike. A role model as to what you can achieve if you work hard and have enough determination and strength.

I'll never forget her quote, "The trouble with socialism is that it works until it runs out of other people's money."

I didn’t agree with a lot of her policies but respected her perseverance in following them through..ended up a true leader.

The three greatest leaders of the 80’s. Today there are none.

[@77estate]

The era of strong leadership. The way they kept China and USSR obey is almost impossible these days. Today’s politics are so aware of their reputation they raised Putin, Erdogan and Xi, they put capital in their hands and we have a widespread of dictatorship nowadays. I’d rather go back to those days we were still a role model to those countries wanted to succeed

Or the manifestation of broken system that lead to the unbalanced economy the UK has now. (very unequal) London is rich and the rest of the UK is struggling,. She also seeded the financial crisis of 2008 by boosting Neo Liberalism Economics and the erasure of the Glass-Steagall Act; USA and UK both (the big bang). A major factor was the UK Class system that meant people that could talk in a specific accent would get management jobs even if they were inept, no skills at all. UK industry could never keep up with competition from the rest of the world and their better management concepts. The Uk voted for Brexit because they thought that the EU was the problem. BUT it was Thatcher and unfetterd neo liberal economics that was to blame. The UK is now a very unbalanced country and is now getting more poor every day due to Brexit. Wales and Scotland have no confidence in the UK Parliment anymore. Northern England is also seeking independence from parliament, mainly because the Tories are useless idiots that wrecked their economy. Manufacture has been outsourced to China leaving the UK only supplying services. Why? Because Thatcher along with the bad management and idiot trade unions killed the UK manufacturing industry.

Who grew up in the 1960s, had it hard then along came Maggie to stop the free milk in 1971 for anyone over 7 years old..? ( Maggie the milk snatcher…) Was she not behind the closure of the mental institutions in a a Great Britain a time when turmoil was on its way… Industry suffered greatly due to her political policies which caused mass unemployment especially in the north of England in order to control inflation. There is so much more which could have been said here but the one thing I despise here for is the Poll tax which caused huge furor in England and cause me to have to close my business and also pay dearly for a government who were hell bent on change. The poll tax riots I remember well,as I was in London’s Covent garden on Saturday 31st March in my establishment minding my own business only to have my store destroyed by rioters hell bent on destruction and the Met on horses riding through the area with batons hitting rioters and others for not conforming. What a nightmare that was, that day in 1990 on a Saturday, the busiest trading day of the week for most. Talk about bright ideas to build up the country, give everyone what they want only to have it be taken away for you later on. As from those lost souls in Las Malvinas. That along with the people up north who lost their livelihoods to the closure of coal mines are other stories. She certainly made her bed.

[@chrisnation1432]

Scottish inflation adjusted GDP has doubled since 1979. She was, empirically, good for the Scottish economy. The short term pain was more pronounced in Scotland because the Scottish economy was to a much greater extent based on taxpayer handouts to state industries, a deliberate policy by the Wilson governments (and to a lesser extent Heath and Callaghan) in order to attract Scottish support and kill off the Scottish Conservatives. Incidentally, this exact same story is why the removal of the State gravy train is what caused similar short term disturbances in the North of England, as has been indirectly pointed out by another poster here. The idea that the British taxpayer would have ever been able to continue this gravy train to the present day is ridiculous.
