It's not necessary to agree with all her policies to accept that she was a great leader who rose to an immense challenge. The fact that she was our first and only female PM only adds to her achievements IMHO. That having been said, her time has probably long gone and I for one hope we never find ourselves in such need of a strong, conviction led leader.

I think that's exactly what we will need should we leave the EU ,the current shower from all parties do not IMO have the necessary conviction or skill to successfully take this country away from the EU should we vote to leave .My biggest worry if we leave the EU is do we have a leader of her calibre capable of dragging Britain back onto it's feet without the EU to prop us up
