Today the 87 year old sadly passed away from a stroke.
Though a sad occasion for some, it became a day of celebration for many others.
David Hopper, the general secretary of the Durham Miners' Association, stated that it was a great day for miners.
There were even street parties that popped up, most notably in Brixton and Derry, Northern Ireland.
To be honest I can't even remember Thatchers rule, as I was under 5. All I do know is that Thatcher was responsible for taking away milk and privatisation (so much for my Government and Politics AS class).
Even though she committed a lot of wrongs, it's sad to know how hated she was even after death. That is something that scares me, I would never want to be that hated.
So on this day of her death I give her my respect and hope that she Rests in Peace.
