Margaret Thatcher Dies at 87

[Circadia]

I thought she was already dead, I also thought Nelson Mandela was dead but hes still hanging on.
All I knew about Thatcher was that she took away milk in schools cause of that ever so catchy name 'Maggie Thatcher the milk snatcher'
R.I.P

Was that not her daughter Carol?

Yeah but I always thought it was her whenever I heard the name 'Margaret Thatcher'

up until recently I thought she was already dead - RIP the Iron Lady!!

Britain needs to start teaching its history in schools it would seem.

do not like her, for educated reasons unlike the majority of people... not gonna wish her to rest in peace but i do not agree with those rejoicing in her death. death is not a justice.

also it sickens me how many people under the age of 18 don't know who she is. educate yourselves.

Agreed here - as I said above, the education system has to be to blame there (well, that and the parents). British history is fascinating, and should probably be taught before the dear Egyptians come into play (which I seem to remember studying in Year 3, precisely 1 year before studying the Victorian era!)

It would be pretty funny if they gave her a state funeral.

definitely think it lies a little more with the parents. i studied this in year 10 as part of my history GCSE but that was a good 6 years ago now. my parents always encouraged me to read papers, watch the news and make my own decisions. and i'm from a working class family so its not like a privelaged thing or anything.
