Margaret Thatcher meant more to me than I would like. She was in power during my entire school years and has since gone on to represent almost everything I dislike about Britain.
The problem I have, and I am sure I am not alone, is that she also represents a great deal of what I do like about Britain. The way she treated the armed forces, for one, I thought was fair and with respect. I can say the same for the justice system she transformed, the Falkland’s conflict, and her and therefore our, part in the demise of the cold war. I also agree in a free and private industry, just not to the extent that she took it. Now she is dead.
I never hoped for her to die, nor do I celebrate now that she has; on the same token, nor am I particularly upset. I am however, a little sad, as a little old lady has died, alone, and roundly hated. She did what she thought was right, every time, and seemingly without regret. She never apologized for being who or what she was, and never once shied away from a difficult decision. Despite ourselves, I bet a lot of us hope that when we are done people will say the same about us too.
Even though I disagree with Thatcher and now Thatcherism, I wish more politicians would emulate her resolve. Now that she is gone, maybe we can finally look at what she did, with an open mind, and see what, as a nation we can take forward, and what should be buried with her.
