Magaret thather had a private life and a public life. My intila reaction on hearing of Margarets death was my concern for Denis, hoping hat he was OK, only to be told he had passed some years before
Today is a tragedy for carol and mark thatcher and will cause signifcant suffering to margaret friends and if I was with them I would be doing everything I could to comfort them in their grief and loss. Such things are a private matter and those that carry on should be respected and cared for.
However their is also the public character: Margaret thatcher, who was unbelievably cruel, highly destructive, and was friends with mass-murderers. So just as I would treat Gaddaffi family with kindness when dealing with their grief equally I celebrated Gaddaffi's fall and equally I'm happy that someone who caused so much suffering has gone today
I hope in due course that the conservatives change and move back to who they were under Heath, Macmillian, Eden, Douglas-Home - a one nation view of conservatism rather than the neo-faschist ideas and representations of the conservative right.
