Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher has died.

Remembered her as one tough politicians, she fought one country that wants to become independent from UK and won hard. It was Falkland, a small country near south pole. UK won't let that country go, reason? Rich in oil.

Not 100% accurate there. The Falkland Islanders have always thought of themselves as British, the only claim Argentina has to the Islands is based on the fact that they're the nearest Nation. I actually think France has a better claim than they do.......
And if the Argies want to try it again ,we've got a squadron of Eurofighters stationed there, 1,200 soldiers and a guided missile frigate.........

R.I.P Baroness Thatcher. I didn't always agree with her policies - and she made a few bad ones, but she wasn't afraid to do what was needed. She stuck by her beliefs and was a natural leader. Sometimes a Country needs a hard taskmaster - rather than the lies, deceit, spin and mindless rhetoric spouted by successive Prime Ministers. I think it's safe to say that there isn't anyone in Great Britain who isn't affected by her in one form or another.
I'm sad that she's gone.
