The MSM will be in mourning because they may have to give Thatcher her due.

One of my heroes. A brilliant lady and leader to whom the world owes a great debt of gratitude. I am thankful to have seen her speak in person in the mid-1990’s. Rest in Peace Iron Lady.

I’ve watched it. It wasn’t the hatched job you might think it was. It was pretty balanced in my view.

What a great lady. I can’t think of a sufficient tribute to her accomplishments.
No doubt, the despicable left will be in full celebration mode.

They won't give her any accolades.
My favorite story about her was she traced the decline of the British Empire to the invention of the telephone. According to her theory, when those in the field operated on their own with no quarterbacking from Whitehall on a minute by minute basis, everything worked very well.
From personal experience in our federal bureaucracy, I know that story to be right on the mark.

God bless you, Iron Lady.
You turned the UK around, saving us from full-blown Argentinean-style socialism. The lesser men who came after you betrayed your vision. Not your fault.
Rest in peace.
