The “Iron Lady,” Maggie Thatcher, dead at 87

Passing away in the UK Monday morning following a stroke, the staunchest ally of President Ronald Reagan has died at the age of 87.

C921-25Margaret Thatcher was not only the first woman to lead any form of a major Western government, she was the first and only UK female Prime Minister.

Remembrances in Britain are running primarily along the lines of “she was a good PM but divisive, cold, uncaring, war-like, unmovable” and the like.

UK, let me distill things down for you: she saved your ass.
