I can't watch all the "tributes" to her life today.

The fact that she was the first (and only) woman to rise to the post of PM doesn't impress me, not after having lived with/amidst the consequences of her "reign".

She was not a good leader and not a good person.

She was especially classist and homophobic.

But she was a mother and a grandmother and I am sorry for their loss, I hope she was kind and loving to them.
Do you mean the first and only in The UK? Because NZ has had two women PMs (the second one, Helen Clark, was elected, the first one, Jenny Shipley (a Thatcher wannabe), wasn't).

I hope she was good to her family, because she wasn't good to the average person from The UK from what we saw in NZ.
