She hasn't been in power for more than two decades, so politically speaking, her death is totally irrelevant right now. As usual its alot of media fuelled hysterical sensationalist dross and its very boring already.

I can appreciate both the possitive and negative assesments of her time as PM. I'm not going to mourn her as I cant say i was ever a fan and I didn't know her personally - and Im not going to celebrate either because it is pointless and unconstructive. So us tax payers are paying for her funeral, I dont care, we pay alot more for Banker bail outs, MPs expenses, The Royals, Welfare, The legal fees of criminals, etc.
The Rightwingers are using this get all sentimental, nostalgic and wave their Union Jacks as if the 1980's was a really GREAT decade, er....in which case their memory is very 'selective'.
Lefties are celebrating as if its some kind of major victory (when its nothing of the sort) and are really just using it as a juvenille excuse to get drunk and dance around like idiots in Trafalgar square.
Lefties and Righties.... You know, I actually dont know which side I hate more. To me Left and Right just represents crap and failed political ideas from last century.

Anyway, back to the point, Yes the Iron lady/witch is dead. Now is there any chance we (Britain) can get back to moaning about suff which might actually be relevant for 2013 and beyond?... please?
