Strong independent personalities. Not always right but were willing to do more than watch and play golf!

Cannot comment really, as the movie did nothing to tell us who this woman really was. Am going to read some of her bios and then decide.

@USATOpinion Politics aside, Thatcher's policies spurred wonderful explosions of artistic & social expression in '80s Britain. #tellusatoday

@USATOpinion Complete ruination of a once-proud country. Industries such as coal mining, steel and car production gone.

@USATOpinion An Iron Lady needed to appear, because male politicians failed to lead. Thank you, Margaret Thatcher, for showing chutzpah!

The more and more I find out about maggy thatcher the more respect I have for her. She made decisions nobody liked but had to make.

What I don't understand is if so many people hated Margaret Thatcher why was she voted in for 3 terms of parliament?

Radio stations and Thatcher protesters have mocked the death of the Iron Lady, playing this song referring to the wicked witch from the "Wizard of Oz."
