Especially in England.
Can you imagine how disgusting it would be for Obama or Biden to represent the U.S. should there need to be a funeral. Never mind that, I hope she’s OK.
She celebrated her 85th birthday on Oct.13 - IIRC she has been in frail health for several years.
Here’s more on her bio. Complex philosophy - not conservative as we think of it.

Thatcher established herself as a potent conference speaker at the Conservative Party Conference of 1966, with a strong attack on the high-tax policies of the Labour Government as being steps “not only towards Socialism, but towards Communism”.[30] She argued that lower taxes served as an incentive to hard work.[30] Thatcher was one of few Conservative MPs to support Leo Abse’s Bill to decriminalise male homosexuality and voted in favour of David Steel’s Bill to legalise abortion,[32] as well as a ban on hare coursing.[33][34] She supported the retention of capital punishment and voted against the relaxation of divorce laws.[35]
