Baroness Thatcher dies

Love her or hate her she certainly left her mark on the UK. Her resolve saw the dismantling of the power of the unions, victory in the Falklands War and ultimately turned the IRA into a political force from a force of violence.

Her reforms and de-regularisation of UK banking and finance also ultimately lead to the bankers abuse of power and their subsequent acts that brought about the current recession.

Many (enough) of the great and the good of this country hold her in such esteem as to believe that a public ceremony is required to send her on her way to whatever exits after death.

Not sure that I agree with that sentiment.
