Margaret Thatcher funeral: a "fitting tribute?"

Margaret Thatcher funeral: a "fitting tribute?"

Margaret Thatcher is a conservative icon.

The first woman and only woman to date to have held the office of prime minister.

She broke the glass ceiling. She was tough as nails. Indeed, she was the Iron Lady.

You either love her or hate her. Respect her or despise her. Either way, she was influential.
 
Siyo Marekani tuu. Pia Ufaransa na Ujerumani. Kwa mfano, Ufaransa hawakutuma hata a serving minister to the funeral.

The Conservatives wanted a big showdown and it all appears to have gone wrong.

With none of the main States sending their Presidents, sidhani kama wamefurahishwa na hili.

Even our President didn't bother? Or was he not invited?

Marekani sidhani kama ingeweza kupeleka serving high ranking official kwa sababu ya who is in the White House.
 
Who is to say that photo hasn't been doctored?

Perhaps, many photos may have been doctored then.

Like this one taken in a Museum in Grantham, a very conservative area, where she grew up.

Ndugu zanguni,

Samahanini sana kwa kuingiza mabishano ya pembeni katika mjadala huu ambao wengine wengi wanautumia kwa kujifunza mengi yahusuyo haki ya kujieleza, historia, Bi. Margaret Thatcher, Uingereza kwa ujumla wake na mengine mengi

Mniwe radhi

Salamu ziwafikie Gama, The Boss, EMT Sikonge na wengine popote pale walipo

Shukurani rasmi zimfikie Nyani Ngabu kwa kushiriki nami katika kosa hili

Her "soul mate" was Ronald Regan ambaye wakati huo alikuwa the greatest American President since Franklin Roosevelt?

Ronaldus Magnus hakuwa her "soul mate". Alikuwa her 'political soul mate'.

And yes, Ronald Reagan has a place in the pantheon of greatest American presidents.

And just in case you didn't know or forgot, in his re-election bid he won 49 out of 50 states. That feat will never be duplicated again.

Undhani kama Romney alingekuwa White House angehudhuria?

I think the reason is not who is in the White House, but aliyekuwa anazikwa.

Wangeweza hata kuhudhuria in their private capacity kama walivyofanya nchi nyngine kama Australia.

I would not put anything past the lunatic fringe liberals. They will stop at nothing to advance their agenda.

I mean, these people, as handful as they are, they have managed to make it look bigger than it really is. They are a determined bunch who staunchly believe in what they believe in.

Who is in the White House matters a lot my friend. Angekuwa Romney trust me angepeleka high level/ high ranking representative.

Lady Thatcher is adored by American conservatives very much but equally despised by liberals.

Without disrespect to Thatcher, I thought it was the conservatives who tried to make the event looks bigger than it really was?

She specifically did not want a state funeral and nor did her family.

She particularly did not wish to lie in state as she thought that was inappropriate.

And she didn't want a fly-past as she thought that was a waste of money.

But the Conservatives wanted to use this event to show how they're loved across the world, only to be snubbed.

That maybe true but the anti-Thatcher antics have made it look like she was thoroughly hated during and after her reign which is not the case.

See, that is a mark of a true to form conservative.

She particularly did not wish to lie in state as she thought that was inappropriate.

More bona fide conservative credentials.

And she didn't want a fly-past as she thought that was a waste of money.

Wow! Just wow!

That's not her fault. Her wishes were not respected and I blame those who did not respect them.
 
Hiki Kimama na Reagan walikuwa ndiyo watu walioamua kuendeleza nchi zao kwa kuuza silaha kwa wingi sana nchi masikini. Ili hilo lifanikiwe, ilibidi waongeze vita za wenyewe kwa wenyewe Africa.

Pia ndiyo haka haka ka Mama kalikazia uzi wa kumwita Nelson Mandela ni GAIDI.

Who did not respect her wishes?

Whoever decided against her wishes of a private low-key funeral. And to me the decedents wishes are inviolable. They shouldn't have gone against them.
 
this is a knockout question...jibu ni the conservative lol

One thing I found interesting is that despite being against the coal miners, she wanted to be cremated.

Now, the coal miners are protesting that there is no more coal left to cremate her body.

The Queen's presence made it a State funeral in all but name.
