Do You feel Sympathy for Margaret Thatcher?

Question

Now that her daughter Carole has admitted her mother, former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher is suffering the effects of senile dementia, do you feel any sympathy for the woman who brought Great Britain to it's knees?

Answer 1

Absolutely not.

Answer 2

I thinks its sad,she was the only head of any country with a backbone,and if she had of been Prime Minister in the last 10yrs,she would have put Bush in his place. If she was that bad,she wouldn't have lasted that long.

Answer 3

GB was already on its knees. It was the economic basket case of Europe thanks to Callahan and his union cronies. She turned this country into the strongest economy in Europe, and stood up for the right of self determination of the people of the Falkland Islands.

i know there is no cure, but i do wish her all the best.

Answer 4

No...

She's clearly been suffering from dementia for a long time - since at least 1979....  

Carol should have 'fessed up sooner.... would've saved us all a lot of trouble.

Answer 5

I actually have the deepest respect for Margaret Thatcher she was a good Prime minister in some ways. I would nvere wish dimentia on anyone.

Answer 6

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha (pause for breath) ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! No.

Answer 7

I feel the same sympathy for her she showed for the miners steel workers and the rest of the country.NONE!!!

The Americans loved her a dam sight more then the British ever did send her to them they can give her a state funeral.

Lets see poll tax riots in the streets 14% interest rates etc etc short memories are a sign of dementia

Answer 8

About as much as she felt for my family, (and the rest of the working population),  when I was made redundant in the 90's recession, struggling to pay the poll tax and increasing mortgage due to inflation - none whatsoever.

Answer 9

Yes, she was one of the finest Prime Ministers that Britain ever had.  Even if I didn't like her I would not wish any ill on her..

Answer 10

Wow, just like George Dubya Bush huh.

Answer 11

Absolutely. She was a great Prime Minister and recognized early on just how badly Socialism was destroying your country. She was correct, now look at you. Your health care system is in shambles, the government now decides on who lives and who dies, you must pay homage to Muslims and you have to hide the steak knives because some nanny stater thinks you can't bet trusted with sharp objects. God Bless Margaret Thatcher.

Answer 12

even with dementia she is still a better person than blair;brown or any other labour mp

Answer 13

You have got that the wrong way round, she pulled this country up by its bootstraps from the absolutely awful mess the labour party left it in in 1979 to the fourth largest economy in the world.  You are obviously a labour luvvie by your post, and even worse cannot acknowledge what state this country was in at the end of the 1970`s, that is if you were even born then.  If not do a little research, and even then I doubt you will believe your own eyes.  Nu labour are now in the process of doing exactly the same thing.  It is unfortunate that they still have another 2 years in which to accomplish this, god help us all!!

Sympathy for her, certainly, just as I would have for anyone else suffering from this condition, whatever their political persuasion

Answer 14

The woman who saved Britain's economy? Yes, I do feel sympanthy for her. I wish her well. In any case, senile dementia is not something I would wish on anyone - not even a socialist.

Answer 15

None whatsoever, she actually deserves far worse. I have sympathy for the daughter knowing the kind of thing she's going through dealing with somebody like that.

Answer 16

She was so evil that I prefer to see a slow suffering decline than a quick death.

Answer 17

At the end of her reign the only people paying less in tax were those earning more than £100,000 per year (worth, of course, even more then than it is now).

Answer 18

i have little care for Mrs Thatcher I remember her part in the War between her nation and Argentina when I was in HIgh School and well I think like someone else said Karma

Answer 19

The Great lady whom we call the 'Iron Lady' lives in the hearts of the people.  Her present condition as reported here evokes sympathy. Senile dementia creates in others a great pain.  A leader like Thatcher is being punished by God.  She may not be aware of her disease because the disease has such a result. All of us should pray for her.  She had been instrumental for the industrial augmentation and the British citizens ought to be proud of her.   U.K.Atiyodi

Answer 20

The word Karma springs to mind.

Answer 21

About the same as i would feel for Gary Glitter if an angry mother stabbed the scum in the you know were.

Answer 22

Absolutely none. It really p*sses me off when people feel sympathetic and forgiving towards the most awful people, just because they've become old!  Becoming old and senile doesn't excuse everything they've done in their life.
