Falklands blog for Tuesday April 9 2013
A lot has been said about Mrs T on the news. Pundits for one side or the other (and there were always 2 sides) praise or damn her. Here, in the Falklands, she is regarded with affection and admired for her resolute determination. Where lesser politicians would have sold them out, she would not yield.
It is dispiriting to look back to the UK to see signs of glee at the news of her death and bitter hatred for her in Glasgow to mention one place. Few of those dancing around had been born when she was in office. Such naked hatred and bile will not bring others to your point of view. Few would wish to be associated with such behaviour. Disagree with her policies and actions if you must, but please have some common courtesy.
