Margaret Thatcher is being praised by many today.
As for me, I'm with Declan McManus and George Galloway.

Praised? Not according to my Facebook newsfeed....
The mainstream media is pouring it on thick!
Those in the U.K. and anywhere outside of the U.S. know otherwise.
PS
What is this Facebook you speak of?
While i disliked her muchly, i'm a bit uneasy with people holding parties to celebrate her death but it shows just how much hatred she generated. I am glad that the media are balancing out the sycophants with people like George Galloway though.
No parties at our place, as I view lall loss with at least some everence. I did have a look back at her political history yesterday, and have concluded that she was rather ruthless. Especially where the poor were concerned. And as Chris Hayes pointed out yesterday, Thatcher and Reagan crafted much of what we are stuck with (economically) to this day. Thanks, neocon elitists!
She was nobody's sweetheart, that's for sure. The bitter irony is that this women who extolled the virtues of hard work and self-reliance spent the last 20 years of her life dotty with Alzheimers.
Woman, of course! And I'm back in Hilo!
Welcome home! Hope to make it into Hilo next week. Will keep you posted.
