For those who don't know what he's talking about:

Ex-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher dies

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."

Baroness Thatcher was Conservative prime minister from 1979 to 1990.

She was the first woman to hold the post. Her family is expected to make a further statement later.

Baroness 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.

She 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.

I was no fan of her but my sympathies goes to family and supporters.

Al's title and Stepney's outrage have been amended with no infractions or reporting of posts. But everyone should be on high alert from his point on

All I can say is - obviously I can't say anything about the topic at hand - but I will say I do deeply regret not knowing what Al had to say on the topic, and what his original thread title was.

Very sad that we can't know what anyone really thinks about this woman or her death.  Wish I had logged on a bit earlier.
