We are all Thatcher's children - RIP Mother

As Andrew Marr said in his marvellous History of Modern Britain TV series:

[Hers was]...the most extraordinary and nation-changing Prime Ministership in British history.

Margaret Thatcher was a woman who made mistakes, who could be harsh, who bullied people - close to her, and people she'd never met. But she took a country that had lost faith in itself, and she gave it a long and repeated slapping, and left it stronger, richer and more self-confident than when she came in.

In many ways she defines the country we still live in today today. We're none of us, regardless of our ages, Harold Wilson's children. Or Edward Heath's children. Or John Major's. Or Tony Blair's. We are all, like it or not, rebel or not, the children of Margaret Thatcher.

RIP Margaret Hilda Thatcher, Baroness Thatcher, LG, OM, PC, FRS, née Roberts (13th October 1925 – 8th April 2013), the longest-serving Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in the 20th century, and the only woman ever to have held the post.
