"end of story, she was a problem, she aint anymore."

Not strictly true. Her policies are still being implemented by the Nu-Labour. However, this does raise one issue. She was responsible for her policies <i>then</i> the damaged they caused <i>then</i>. The current gov't is responsible for them <i>now</i>, because they haven't changed them.

Saying that, Thatcher was responsible for the deaths and suffering of thousands. Should she be forgiven because that was then and this is now? If so then you have to forgive every person who's ever been in power for what they did <i>then</i>. Ready to forgive Pinochet? Ready to pardon all war criminals? Ready to let McCarthy off for what he did? How about Stalin? Musslini? Will you forgive Bush for invading Iraq without a real reason as soon as he's been dethroned?
