Subject: RE: BS: Mrs Thatcher had dementia
Mrs T did a lot of things that history will judge either good or bad in the fullness of time.


Whatever your views on anyone's politics, when they are affected by something such as this, then that is the time for some compassion.

Whether you agreed with her or not, the means to stop her was the ballot box. And she was repeatedly re-elected.

The fact that she is now suffering from something that affects so many of us is not something to gloat over. Its a time to show some humanity.

And if you disagreed with her then maybe by doing that you make yourself bigger than she was.

If we ever start to rejoice in suffering then that really is the end for the human race.

Well that's what I think anyway.
