It's amazing to see all those 'by eck me grandad voted Labour' types celebrating the death of the woman they accused of not being 'compassionate' enough and uncaring. You know, maybe it's just me, but celebrating the death of a 87-year old woman who you simply disagree with - that's compassionate it is? no, it's ******* low and disgusting.
As for the usual 'FATCHER HATED LIVERPEWL' - what most people don't actually realise (again, because they've had a history course given to them from their flat-capped Grandad) is that for years regenerating Liverpool with transforming the then-abandoned Albert Docks had been talked about .... yet the Labour controlled Liverpool City Council failed over two decades to do ANYTHING.
It took Margaret Thatcher (you know, the woman who apparently hated we in Liverpool cos thats what your grandad, the historian, says) to appoint Michael Heseltine as Minister for Merseyside who actually put money into the Albert Docks and had it done up - providing some of the first new jobs Liverpool had experienced in decades.
Didn't know any of this? there's loads more. Sometimes it's amazing that what you've been taught all your life from those you surround yourselves with, turns out to be completey one-sided and wrong.
RIP Margaret Thatcher, a woman who dragged Britain kicking and screaming into the twenty first century.
As I said, it's people who have been given a 'history' lesson from their flat capped Grandad.
