Another one knows the secret.

It's a weird saying isn't it that "another one knows the secret", but it's a saying that my nana just used, when we were talking about the currently breaking news about the passing of Baroness Thatcher.

"She'll be with her Dennis"

It is true that today is a great loss for a major part of UK history, let alone politics as a whole. Her incredable career literally broke records and turned heads, but remember, this lady is not for turning.

She still holds the record for not only being the only female prime minister of the UK, but also being the longest serving one too, before being voted out by her "peers". I've alot of respect for her and what she managed to do and i still have been saying for some time now that we needed her back in as Prime Minister, only knowing my wish could never be granted owing to poor mental and physical health... but why would i want her back in.

When mrs Thatcher took to office, alot of people forget about the state the UK was in. Financially, the country was in recession, workers losing their jobs hand over fist and thing's were not set to improve for some time. Yet it's only her ability to cut straight to the point and play the politics game to her advantage, she was able to lead the way forward for the country and make change happen in a positive way.

But why do people dislike her?

As with all political figures in the UK, not everybody will agree with their action's, even when it works and is proven to have had the country's best interest at heart. Some people play what i call, political blindness, in which they stay faithful to their political party and see them having done no wrong, ever. Much is the case with Margaret Thatcher. She was made unpopular because she stuck her neck on the line alot of times and took decisions not many people were brave enough to take.

Take away her political career and what are you left with? You're left with a mother and a grand parent. Today, that's exactly how im looking at it. People are posting on social media about how happy they are, we'll see how their attitudes change then it's someone near and dear to them that passes shall we?
