Terribly sad news this morning: Former U.K. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher has died following a stroke. She was 87 years old.
🙁 RT @ethanklapper: Wish this was one of those times that Thatcher was just a rumor. But with ITV, Sky, BBC all reporting, it's real 🙁

Unfortunately, this does not appear to be one of the Thatcher death hoaxes.
Oh my god. Thatcher. I'm crying.

Lady Thatcher was iconic which ever side of the fence you sat. Powerful, decisive & no bull. Unlike our government at present. #respect

Sad to hear of the death of Margaret Thatcher. The Iron Lady remains an example of conservative, principled leadership.
