BREAKING: Margaret Thatcher Passes Away!

Great Britain and the United States mourn the lost of Margaret Thatcher.

The former prime minister of the United Kingdom had passed away at age 87. As with Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher was the icon of modern conservatism.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to Margaret Thatcher's family.

A lot of people agreed that the world needed an "Iron Lady".

She was the longest-serving (1979–1990) Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of the 20th century, and the only woman ever to have held the post. A Soviet journalist called her the "Iron Lady", a nickname which became associated with her uncompromising politics and leadership style. As Prime Minister, she implemented Conservative policies that have come to be known as Thatcherism.

After entering 10 Downing Street, Thatcher introduced a series of political and economic initiatives to reverse what she perceived to be Britain's precipitous national decline.

Her political philosophy and economic policies emphasised deregulation (particularly of the financial sector), flexible labour markets, the privatisation of state-owned companies, and reducing the power and influence of trade unions. Thatcher's popularity during her first years in office waned amid recession and high unemployment, until economic recovery and the 1982 Falklands War brought a resurgence of support, resulting in her re-election in 1983.

President Barack Obama, Prime Minister David Cameron, Queen Elizabeth II and the United States Congress share their condolences. Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard were informed of the passing.

Thatcher is popular among the conservative faithful here in the United States. The conservative media worships the legacies of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher.

Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, Matt Drudge, Michelle Malkin and numerous conservative agitators will talk about the death.

Margaret Thatcher was born Margaret Roberts in Grantham, Lincolnshire, on 13 October 1925. Her father was Alfred Roberts, originally from Northamptonshire, and her mother was Beatrice Ethel (née Stephenson) from Lincolnshire.

It was confirmed by the Associated Press that she died of a stroke.

Actress Meryl Streep recently portrayed the former prime minister in the 2011 movie The Iron Lady.
