SIR – As a socialist, I will not be shedding any tears over the death of former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. I, like everyone else who struggled financially during the 1980s, can only remember the harsh policies she implemented on the poor, the sale of council houses and the poll tax to name but a few. I could go on.
Yes, she was a political giant and giants have a habit of walking over people. Mrs Thatcher did that without a doubt. The only thing I can say that was positive about her is that she did what she said she was going to do and stuck to her word.
Yes, she was honest, I will give her that.
