Margaret Thatcher died. It is not very Christian to rejoice at this news. Certainly I am not a good Christian. - death and funeral of Margaret Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher was one of the defining figures in modern British politics. Whatever side of the political debate you stand on, no one can deny that as prime minister she left a unique and lasting imprint on the country she served. She may have divided opinion during her time in politics but everyone will be united today in acknowledging the strength of her personality and the radicalism of her politics.

She was one of the most outstanding political personalities of the last quarter of the 20th century and I believe that with the passing of time, her name will not lose importance.

[Margaret Thatcher was] a true friend of the Jewish people and Israel.
