Baroness Thatcher, was the first woman to be UK prime minister

Former Prime Minister Baroness Thatcher has died at 87 following a stroke, her spokesman has said.

Lord Bell said: "It is with great sadness that Mark and Carol Thatcher announced that their mother Baroness Thatcher died peacefully following a stroke this morning."

Lady Thatcher was Conservative prime minister from 1979 to 1990.

David Cameron called her a "great Briton" and the Queen spoke of her sadness at the death.

Downing Street said Lady Thatcher would be accorded the same status of funeral as the Queen Mother and Princess Diana, but will not lie in state, in accordance with her own wishes.

'Great leader'
Lady Thatcher, born Margaret Roberts, became the Conservative MP for Finchley, north London in 1959, retiring from the Commons in 1992.

Having been education secretary, she successfully challenged former prime minister Edward Heath for her party's leadership in 1975 and won general elections in 1979, 1983 and 1987.

Baroness Thatcher's government privatised several state-owned industries. She was also in power when the UK went to war with Argentina over the Falkland Islands in 1982.

In a statement on the Downing Street Twitter feed, Mr Cameron said: "It was with great sadness that l learned of Lady Thatcher's death. We've lost a great leader, a great prime minister and a great Briton."

A Buckingham Palace spokesman said: "The Queen was sad to hear the news of the death of Baroness Thatcher. Her Majesty will be sending a private message of sympathy to the family," it said.

"Suffice it to say that the people who legislate for the terror in Ireland know... well... that they all remain targets. And I'm sure that when Mrs. Thatcher, when she goes down upon her knees with a mirror checking underneath her car in the morning, remembers the terror she inflicted on Ireland."

It's not propaganda at all. It's called ageing. Most human beings go through it. The picture Mikal posted was from when she was Prime Minister the one you have shown is from more recent years when her health deteriorated. You try having dementia and then looking the same way you did 10 years previous.

Leftists are fuming because not one of their leaders has, nor will be, mourned globally in the same way Baroness Thatcher has.

And for the record, her ending the dominance of the labor unions was a good thing.

For football fans it is, because a large majority of them like the violence.

Legislation to reduce violence is one thing, she was way to fu.cking brutal with her laws,again same goes for her outward policy.

But the bad girl is dead so ... Derp  :D
You probibly don't know any of her laws.

The thing I don't understand, rugby is a much more violent sport, yet rugby fans are much calmer and even go to the pub and drink nicely with the fans of the opposing team, where as football is just full of pussies faking injuries and chasing eachother in circles, and the fans go nuts and beat the shit into the police and anyone round them, it doesn't really make sense, I don't know why football is such a big sport, it's pathetic and causes mass damage and violence, if theres any angry tax payers out there, they should point fingers at the amount it costs just to police football matches, absolutely pathetic, football should be banned, but then again, the retarded hooligans would go and find another sport to fight over.

A lot of football matches are policed by Special Constables who are unpaid 'volunteer police officers'. Still it does come at quite a cost to the taxpayer, yes.

So  rugby fans should be more aggressive because the game it self is much more tougher then football, if we are led by your logic  UFC fans should all go fuck.ing mental when ever a event of such kind is organised.

I play rugby league in a country that still mix rugby with american football, no media coverage, no nothing, popularity - 0, but all money and eyes are on football (that by the way is on a extremely low level, no mater how hard they try.)
That doesn't stop me to kick it from time to time, or to hate football because of it, as they say here football is a most important, secondary, thing on the world.

You don't get what I'm trying to say, I wouldn't want rugby fans to get more aggressive, rugby is my favourate sport, what I'm trying to say is, you'd think because rugby is a much more violent sport in general and the fans seem to get more pumped watching a bunch of big men beat the hell of eachother, that they'd be more violent towards eachother, where is football is just a bunch of poofs running in circles for 90 minutes and the fans just sit there.

The answer probibly is, the football fans get so bored of watching the game which in itself is boring that they decide to start beating this shit out of each other as thats much more entertaining.
