Former British first and only female Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher is dead. Thatcher, who died this morning, is said to have died of stroke, at the age of 87.
Until her death, Baroness Thatcher had won three general elections for the Conservatives and shaped UK politics for a generation. At home, she implemented sweeping reforms to trade unions, defeated the miners in a bitter strike and forced the Labour Party to modernise itself. Abroad, she was dubbed “the Iron Lady”, winning an unlikely war in the Falklands and helping to secure the collapse of the Soviet Union.
She will be given a special ceremonial funeral, similar to those accorded to the Queen Mother and Diana, the Princess of Wales.
May her soul rest in peace...AMEN!
