Good grief. I can't quite believe it. I'm not going to have a party because I think that's crass, and as an individual, I feel sad that she suffered and had dementia in her later years, but regarding what she did while in power....I loathe her. I loathe her legacy, I loathe her politics, I loathe her actions, her rhetoric and I loathe her successors. I do actually feel slightly cheered that she's now dead. Which makes me a pretty terrible person, I know.

@paulcornell says: Except Thatcher's not dead. She's in every bloody atom of this so-called coalition's Britain.
My twitter timeline is going to be full of rejoicing over the next few days. I'm not sure how I feel about that. She ruined people's lives. But I know that it's not a good character trait to celebrate over someone's death. Mind you, people celebrate over dictator's deaths. Now I know she wasn't a dictator but she did terrible, terrible things.

@simon_price01 says: As a friend of mine succinctly put it, "Thatcher is dead. Now we need to kill off Thatcherism."
