I seem to remember a left wing 'oh so clever' poster, based on Gone with the Wind, which denigrated Reagan and Thatcher for standing up to the USSR over missile bases and disarmament. Clever but typically wrong headed. Instead of instigating WW3 we won the cold war, broke down the Berlin Wall, the iron curtain, destroyed communism and liberated the whole of eastern Europe, and various Soviet republics, all without firing a shot.
She did this with the support of the Conservative party and opposed by the socialists and the wet liberals.
And to think there are some who say her funeral is not worth the money.
Whatever the domestic squabbles, there are many millions of people who appreciate her role in their current liberty. Almost a decade ago at another funeral, across the Atlantic, she spoke appreciatively of "the great liberator" being mourned, who'd helped bring on those peoples' liberty. Today, one can eulogize Thatcher with those same words.
