Thatcher may go but Thatcherism survives.

Venerating her and what she stood for would make the world a worse place. whereas decrying her and having people be jubilant at her demise and dropping her cadaver down a disused mine shaft would lead to poeple understanding that there is a widespread hatred of her for what she did and what she stood for.

I wonder, 'ah let them have it, they're not the problem anymore' thing - as it would be euqally true of say, Pinochet or Idi Amin, would you have felt it was OK for them to be buried amongst public mourning at vast expense to the countries that they decimated?
