Lady Margret Thatcher, Britain 's first female premier,
died peacefully yesterday at the age of 87. The passionate leader was the
British Prime Minister from 1979 to 1990 and often divided opinion on her place
in history.
To her loyalist, she was the one who made the hard decision
and made Great Britain
great again. To her critics, she was a leader who did more harm than good
especially in her economic policies which created a massive divide in British
society. But no matter where they stand on her, the British people seem to have
called a truce on her at her passing.
Now I’m no fan of Margret Thatcher but this is the way to
treat a former leader. No matter what your opinion of her, this is not the time
to argue about her place in history. She was the former leader of the country
and the British people are doing the right thing by mourning her first. There's time for arguments later.
