I'm actually glad I'm working away and won't be at home in Sheffield tonight. I live in an ex-mining village that is as much of a Labour stronghold as you could possibly imagine. I expect the locals are out putting up the bunting already.
As for me, well I don't claim to really know enough about politics to make any kind of informed judgement. She obviously did a lot of good in re-building the British economy, but the cost of this to working class communities was obviously very high.
I have to say I'm very disappointed in some of the distasteful facebook comments I have seen today from some of my friends; one of them posting "Ding dong the witch is dead" even though she would have still been in nappies when Thatcher was ousted from power.
