now there was a real public servant

R.I.P.

Oh yes. She really served us all by destroying the education system and then becoming a baroness.

A proper socialist.

Not really.

Unlike Prince Phillip, she was a politician who could affect our lives with policy decisions. We are discussing her merits on that basis, not engaging in some sort of jealousy, class prejudice trip as has been seen on the Prince Phillip threads.

You can't really be a politician and not expect to be criticized alive or dead. She chose to be a politician whereas Philip had little choice. Any comments about her are regarding her politics and not a personal attack or any sort of disrespect for someone who has recently died. The fact that she has, inevitably results in a critique of her career.
