From what I read and occasionally see on BBC America, she does not get any respect from the present day British folk. Sad, I hope she is remembered kindly and may God bless her forever. There's a lot of respect for her, but she's an incredibly polarising figure. People generally regard her as the greatest PM after Churchill, or as the worst of all time. There's no middle ground. But the group that views her fondly is as large as that which loathes her. She also managed to appear in the '100 Best Britons' and '100 Worst Britons' list simultaneously when voted on in 2002 (Tony Blair and the Queen managed to do the same).
