    Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, a towering figure in postwar British and world politics and the only woman to become British prime minister, has died at the age of 87.

    She suffered a stroke Monday, her spokeswoman said.

    Thatcher's funeral will be at St. Paul's Cathedral, with full military honors, followed by a private cremation, the British prime minister's office announced.

    Thatcher served from 1975 to 1990 as leader of the Conservative Party. She was called the "Iron Lady" for her personal and political toughness.

    She retired from public life after a stroke in 2002 and suffered several strokes after that.

    Many videos on YouTube are saying the following. The coverup media has pretended for many years that the British liked Thatcher.

    The media is liberal, they never pretended to like Thatcher.

    She's like Reagan anyway, she didn't decrease government spending she only gave some good speeches on the subject. She increased inflation and taxes relative to GNP IIRC. I am neutral on this subject, I don't want to make it too personal.
