  1. I for one wish Maggie was alive, so we could all watch her die again.

  4. All praise to Cathy, a woman that said what every true Scots person was thinking!

  5. Watching this over and over through the years since I first saw it I get the impression that this was the polite version of what Cathy thought of Thatcher, that she toned down her opinion for television.

  6. I know people generally shouldn’t speak ill of the dead, but why should people suddenly feel compelled to pay glowing tributes to people that were arseholes in life simply because they’re dead?? Reporter thinking she should refrain from what she’s saying about Maggie Thatcher because she’s dead? Achhhh awayyyyy with yerself

  10. How come I knew she was talking about maggie before I even checked?

  12. Never heard of this women. Entitled to her opinion. It’s amazing how all Scotland’s problems have been solved Thatcher has been out of power for 35 years. NOT!

  13. Older people say they remember exactly what they were doing when Kennedy died. I wasn’t born then but I remember exactly where I was when Thatcher snuffed it. I was visiting my parents and in their kitchen when the radio announced it. Put it this way, no tears were shed.
    The train to Glasgow was full of happy people that day.
