I wasn't alive during her tenure, can only gather information from what I've read, polarised opinions mostly.

Not liked in Scotland at all, my parents actually thought she was a good PM though, strange.
Not liked? - She was detested.  Article "That Bloody Woman": http://www.newstatesman.com/uk-politics/2009/02/scottish-scotland-thatcher

Maggie caused my parents, then both in their mid-70s, to desert the Tories and vote Labour for the first time in their lives at the 1983 Election, and they certainly weren't alone.

Those two young psychos should NEVER have been released.  Giving them a new identity was pathetic - a chance of a new life when they robbed Bulger of his.

I suspect Venables may be kept apart from the other prisoners for this very reason, Quackers.  However, if Jack Straw is refusing to release details "at this time" of the reasons why he was returned to custody, I wonder just how long it's going to take the media, or a "leaked memo", to reveal these?

A male friend has just enlightened me.  So it's all to do with lowering the levels of oxygen in the blood ... gawd!

Anyway, here's some very good news about Chile which, hopefully, is accurate - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/8548152.stm

US officials are investigating how a child was apparently allowed to direct planes at New York's JFK airport - one of the country's busiest.

The probe comes after an audiotape caught the boy directing several pilots preparing for take-off last month.

The boy was apparently with his father - a certified air traffic controller.

What amazed me was that none of the pilots concerned apparently saw fit to complain about it - scareee!
