I get the feeling that I might be in a minority here, but if you grew up in the 70's, whatever class you were, you might remember the alternative?

Powercuts, the 3 day week, strikes all the time, rampant inflation, rubbish piling up the streets, the chancellor having to go to the IMF with a begging bowl because the country couldn't pay its bills.

Remember she was elected 3 times, and never lost an election. I'm not a big fan of labelling people with some "class" tag, but large numbers of "working class" people (whatever that means) voted for her over and over again.

She was also the last politician that I can remember who actually said what she believed. Agree or disagree, what you saw was what you got. We could do with a bit more of that.

So I'll be wearing a black tie tomorrow, and if anyone doesn't like it, they can kiss my @55.

Thatcher may have gone, but her pernicious ideology lives on, and many of the problems that dog Britain today are an inheritance of her reign , such as the lack of affordable housing, and the divide and rule politics that she adeptly fostered to play working people off against each other in order to maintain her power.

I don't hate the woman, and I felt sad to hear of her passing, but I hate what she stood for, and will continue to do so for as long as I live.

Thatcherism is a bit like Marmite - people tend to love it, or hate it - personally I despise it.
