As I see it, I think the hatred for her is a good  thing, it mean that no one will romantise her government, as we oftentend to do o politicians of the past. Her government behaved deeply ugly toward anyone she didn´t need to keep power, shee laid waste to large part of regional parts of the British economy, her government did every abuse they warned that Labour could do if they got power plus more, they privatised government propertytoo cheaply and the people responsable was rewarded financial by the coompanies which bought them  and they paid for all this by wasting the oil money. As such she taught a lot of British people that no common British solidarity existed (one of the main reasons for that Scotland may leave UK in a few years).
You can disagree or agree with these things, but honestly I admire the British people for not forgetting these things, even if sometimes look ugly. Personal I think that a lot of us forget is that most countries with an long democratic tradition never had a leader like her. Only Italy have had as controversial demoocratic leader as her and I woouldn´t blame Italy if some there celebrated Berlusconi´s death.
