Over here, Thatcher, was, is & always will be loathed. My father called her 'Mussolini in tweed', it was fascism with a small 'f'.

She did nothing for the Catholics here, her policies here led to more deaths than in any other PM term. She sat by and let Political Prisoners die in a hunger strike when all they wanted was Political Status and to wear their own clothes. She made Martyrs out of 13 simple Irish Catholics who were willing to die for what they believed right. Naturally she is loved by the middle classes & Unionists here as she 'made the rich richer and the poor poorer'. Let's not even start on the Poll Tax debacle & the Minor Strikes which caused the biggest civil unrest seen in Britain since WWII, or her backing of a Peruvian dictator called Pinocet who regularly massacred anyone who opposed him just to re-conquer a group of small islands in the south Atlantic. Lastly her deep flow of prejudice against anything that didn't agree with her.

So to answer the original question as to if she is liked or loathed, it very much depends on your racial, social and financial status.
