I watched Cecil Parkinson on the TV this morning, he was expressing a wish that everyone would behave themselves on Wednesday. He also quietly debunked many of the misconceptions about her. I must admit that I was not her biggest fan, reading some of the eulogies and opinions based in fact, i feel my opinion changing somewhat.

Some opinion from over the pond

http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinio...3a8_story.html

American conservatives see in the late Margaret Thatchera defiant, unwavering leader whom they would wish for themselves. Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (S.C.) was one of many who this week extolled the Iron Lady’s “uncompromising conviction” — words such as “unyielding” and “unrelenting” also proliferated across the political right. House Speaker John A. Boehner (Ohio) took special note of Thatcher’s famous “the lady is not for turning” line, while Republican congressman Steve Stockman of Texas invoked Thatcher’s legacy as a call to “crush liberalism.” Invariably, conservatives link her to Ronald Reagan, painting them as two icons who never yielded to concession or compromise.
