My family were part of the steelworking side of things. The miners strike was terrible to experience from a Scottish steelworking point of view.<br /><br />As our first (only?!) female PM, she had no real role model to follow, so she just blazed her own trail. She showed a determination that we take for granted when dealing with male PMs, but somehow seemed to be regarded as inappropriate BECAUSE she was a woman! Which means that she was damned if she did and damned if she didn't :)<br /><br />My own protest will simply be to ignore whatever the media covers about her funeral. If I was at the cortege procession, I would make a point of turning my back on it. A small protest. But done for my dad and all the stress that her government's actions had on his health and my family. <br /><br />Alison Crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06565962059926865121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761392156866572455.post-64611452576484765492013-04-11T00:58:09.860+01:002013-04-11T00:58:09.860+01:00I agree, it really struck me as odd that the age o...I agree, it really struck me as odd that the age of some of the revelers was so young. How can they really have anger at someone who was out of power by the time they arrived on earth. It is only through the emotional carrying of tales from their elders that they gained this opinion. How sad that instead of pulling themselves up by the boot straps and putting on their big "girl/boy" panties to change their circumstance, they chose to keep their anger alive. I do not care for anything Obama has done to my country, but I do not see myself having a burning hatred to cause me to rejoice upon his demise. It's sad that it has to be this way.

I might be on a different end of the political spectrum than Thatcher, but nevertheless recognize her talents and accomplishments (and she did do a good thing or two for England).<br /><br />Nevertheless, onward spring green cardi!
