    Good bye old girl, no doubt some of the Argies will denounce you, despite not realising that they have enjoyed democracy from 1983 onwards, because of you.

    It's almost comical when a communist and/or soicalist calls the free world imperialists.....such an antiquated term that no longer applies.
    I never knew she came into politics the year I was born.....a long potical life.

    She was a inspiration figure and a person willing to break through boundaries when needed.

    She also demonstrated British courage and spirit when it was called upon.

    RIP Maggie

    President Juan Manuel Santos of Columbia tweeted, 'We regret the news of the death of the Iron Lady, Margaret Thatcher. Controversial, brave, a strong character and a friend of Columbia.'

    Our greatest Prime Minister since Winston Churchill.

    A great and proud Lady. Committed to Britain.

    Let no-one do less. Destroy the invader. Let them all die!

    The news leaves one with a sense of deep sorrow . She did so much for her country and democracy in the world . In the UK she broke the power of the unions who nearly destroyed the country in the long winter of 1984/85 . She shook up the City with her “ Big Bang ” . She turned many low income people into householders by allowing them to buy council houses . She privatised public companies making them efficient and profitable . On the international stage she , and Reagan , began the long process of dismantling the Soviet Empire . It would have happened anyway some say but they hurried it along . With that came the freedom of so many Eastern European countries . One wishes somebody like her would appear now !

    Recall that Margaret Thatcher supported and protected the genocidal Pinochet.
    A couple of criminals.

    Miguel song Piero Cantilo and truly portraying the criminal and genocidal Margaret Thatcher

    LADY VIOLENCE AND CHILDREN

    Lady violence firecrackers clouds
    Words flamethrower and criminal reason
    Architect built a fire of fear
    Machete arrogant and pit scar.
    Lady of the blows and curses
    With hands gillette gun and sex

    Lady violence where will the children of thy womb
    Muscles resistant leather
    Punishing enemies screaming and kicking
    Someone who loves me, killing living.

    Lady violence rages
    Revolution and war, national pretext
    For many people release their anxieties,
    Your sleeping body and animal instinct.

    Energetic lady wild fields
    Patron of the jungles and brutal work
    Lady of the men who grow up in the footprint
    Deformed lady, crazy in the city.

    Where are the children of your womb
    With effervescent lead flakes
    Mistreating animals and felled pine
    Destroying forests, breaking the valleys,
    Withering grass ranging treading.

    There once was a girl called Cristina
    Who was the botox queen of Argentina
    She ranted and raved
    and panted and puffed
    But couldn't get back the Malvinas
