RiP, one of my political hero's, after Churchill but above Mikial Gorbachov, visionaries are always decried at the time, lionised in the telling of history. She achieved the impossible at the time from 1979 onwards, dragging the UK forward, away from the path it was set on.
She and Ronald Reagan slowly but surely helped to bring down the 'Iron Curtain' freeing the people of Eastern Europe, just look at the eulogies paid to her, even the Russians admire her.
