At-a-glance: Margaret Thatcher (BBC)

A tribute by Anne Plassart from Lycée Massillon...

I know that many people are not unhappy about the death of the Iron Lady. I’m not asking them to be sad or to forgive Margaret Thatcher. But, they should show more respect; have they never lost a relative?

Even if she let the wealth discrepancy of British society increase, and even if the unemployment rate in Great Britain rose during her time in office, she deserves the respect due any deceased person. It can’t be accepted, morally, that some people sing and dance in the street to celebrate her death!

The “Witch”, as some of them have called her, was an extremely brave and determined woman, who dedicated her life to her country. She was the first woman Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, she probably saved her country from economic collapse, and she fought for her country’s greatness and for her own Conservative convictions.

Let us pay tribute to a woman who changed the status of women on the international political scene, to a woman who believed in peace and progress, to a woman who changed her country’s future and indeed world history. Thank you, Margaret Thatcher.
