[Ndaccountant]

The Iron Lady had lovers and haters. RIP

I think IE needs an obituary section.

She was a great lady, and a tough as nails leader when Great Britain needed one. May she RIP.

Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II were instrumental with the fall of communism. She was a incrediable leader BUT she made an absolute mess in Northern Ireland.

Are Northern Ireland citizens mostly Protestant?

Are Northern Ireland citizens mostly Protestant?

Slightly, according to a Tearfund religious survey in 2011 in wiki. The survey has the Other Christians sects with about 14,500 more people than the R.C.'s out of 1.8 million.


Roman Catholic 40.6%
Other Christians 41.6% (Protestants predominately)
No Religion Stated 16.9%

Thanks for the info. For some reason I thought it would've been higher than that.

Classless.


UK economy wasn't going anywhere until she came in. UK needed her.

Soccer hooligans being classless? Now I've heard it all.

With good reason, dealing with the Hillsborough disaster.

More than a little ironic that the state is spending millions of dollars on a funeral and to celebrate a patron saint of privatization.

 

[Rack Em]

God called Maggie Thatcher because Heaven needs lower interest rates to curb its inflation problems

Those would be Everton fans.. not Liverpool.. and pretty sure, more to the real point they are also certainly leftists... I have family in Scotland, if you believe what you read the whole of Scotland hates her,... except they don't. Let's get real here... they don't like her politics and make a bunch of lame *** conspiracy driven excuses to not like her beyond that... So go ahead and pick your politician, someone you admire, wait until they die… someone out there has beef with that person believe me, and apparently they can always rationalize sick levels of disrespect with something...

Funny story -- the name "Iron Lady" was first written by a Soviet newspaper, and was meant as an insult. But the Britons seemed to like it, and the name stuck.

It is a good reason, but disrespecting the dead is nothing ill ever agree with. "Karma is a Bit$h"
