Again Kes, I think it's a matter or perspectives, to some, whatever their reasons real or perceived she was & always will be the Antichrist, a vile spiteful woman. Whereas others see her as a moderniser, a person who believed her actions right for the Country, doing what was needed as opposed to what was wanted by the populace.

Her legacy can still be seen today, good & bad dependent on your outlook, that won't change no matter the outpourings pro or contra about her. Tomorrow, an old woman will be getting buried with a certain amount of pomp & pageantry, the fact that she was Britains first female Prime Minister & a very divisive figure in life & even now in death shouldn't really matter. We can't change human nature, so what will be, will be.
