The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Like or or hate her, she stood no messing.  Could do with someone with a spine in at the moment.

She took my free milk of me and my mates at school when I was a pup in the 70's .  Thatcher the milk snatcher as she was known in her early days!

She did some good things (Falklands for one) but in the eyes of some (especially Scousers & Miners) some terrible things, she'll divide opinion for a long time yet but one thing is guaranteed she'll be remembered.

Still it's a bit sick some of the stuff being banded around, at the end of the day it's an old lady who's died of a stroke, nothing to gloat about.

My old man wanted to kill her for ruining this country,I'm sure if it wasn't her at the helm someone else would have done similar.
She suffered with Alzheimer's later on so I guess it put her family out of misery.

at least she was strong enough to stand up for what she beleived in. Think todays lot are just in it for themselves, they change their beliefs with the direction of the wind, or what they think the voters will want to hear tomorrow.

Not to blame as much as some think.....as Secretary of State for Education at the time she actually voted against stopping the free milk, which was being proposed by the party (and others) at the time as part of education funding cuts. She instead suggested a compromise, later accepted, that milk would still be available to pupils in nursery and primary schools. Didn't stop her becoming famous as the milk snatcher though!

Her part in covering up the Hillsborough disaster means not many round these parts will remember her fondly

Regardless of whether you or your family were effected positively or negatively by her policies, she had the courage of her convictions. She did good and she did bad and collateral damage was inevitable.

The time to have rejoiced (if your politics take you that way) would have been in 1990 when she left political life and not now at the time of her death.

Regarding the cost of her grand funeral, it pales into insignificance when balanced with the £billions she earned for the UK.

I feel disgusted and outraged that some people lack such respect and dignity over someone's death and funeral, whoever they were in life.

I'm looking forward to seeing it all on TV - I assume there'll be full coverage.

BBC News just announced that 2000 guests have been invited to Thatcher's funeral. Celebrities have also been invited such as Jeremy Clarkson, Shirley Bassey etc WTF??! f*ck it, why don't they invite James Cordon and JLS along for a sing song too. Celebrity culture... what a joke. This is where this country is going wrong. RIP Britain!!!

Clarkson was a massive That her supporter and on various bits of Top Gear has played her speeches, main one I remember was web they had to resurface a road overnight.

I think the 'celebs' probably had involvement with her or were friends
