was she a good politician?
Thatcher is remembered as The Iron Lady only because she possessed completely negative traits such as persistent stubbornness and a determined refusal to listen to others.
Every move she made was charged by negativity; she destroyed the British manufacturing industry, she hated the miners, she hated the arts, she hated the Irish Freedom Fighters and allowed them to die, she hated the English poor and did nothing at all to help them, she hated Greenpeace and environmental protectionists, she was the only European political leader who opposed a ban on the Ivory Trade, she had no wit and no warmth and even her own Cabinet booted her out. She gave the order to blow up The Belgrano even though it was outside of the Malvinas Exclusion Zone - and was sailing AWAY from the islands! When the young Argentinean boys aboard The Belgrano had suffered a most appalling and unjust death, Thatcher gave the thumbs up sign for the British press.
Iron? No. Barbaric? Yes. She hated feminists even though it was largely due to the progression of the women's movement that the British people allowed themselves to accept that a Prime Minister could actually be female. But because of Thatcher, there will never again be another woman in power in British politics, and rather than opening that particular door for other women, she closed it.
Thatcher will only be fondly remembered by sentimentalists who did not suffer under her leadership, but the majority of British working people have forgotten her already, and the people of Argentina will be celebrating her death. As a matter of recorded fact, Thatcher was a terror without an atom of humanity.

Lady Thatcher was a soft to decent 10.

Bong Manufacturing and mining was already circling the drain. Fucking communists spent more time striking than working.
Argentina deserved every death that they got. War is hell and rules trying to keep it from being hell are dumb.

Under no obligation was she supposed to keep enemies of the United Kingdom alive. She should have in fact, killed more of them.

The best. Under her leadership, Britain was a nation worthy of its name. And what has become of Britain today? A nation of cuckolds and self hating social justice warriors.

FUCK THE ARGIES
The only good thing to come out of Thatcher was everyone turning to drugs which created the second summer of love anti-thatcher counter-culture that spawned rave.
European female leaders scare me
Yes, she turned the country around and smashed the ingrained habit of "managing decline" that pervaded Whitehall since the end of WW1. She was overly harsh in some areas and she centralised too much, which the current government is finally correcting, but her reforms were much needed.
Thatcher was first elected in 1979, check out pic related.
