You can only make sense if you first Apologize to "may he rest in peace" Prof. Attah Mills for you saying he was a poodle. Thanks. You may become a poodle yourself if you see nothing wrong with yourself ever, I mean when you think you are all-knowing, never go wrong. Every time you appear on TV you have to make it a point to apologize for that.

gabby , Thatcher is hated because she was CRUEL and divisive. NPP does not want to grow the cake. NPP wants to GRAB the cake for the elite. Thatcher was forced out by her own peers. How could she condone apartheid? Of copurse the NPP also did . Mandela was a terrorist. Today Mandela is hailed as a hero. How could she call herself a democrat? Blacks in S Africa were treated as slaves. Of course she was a racist just as the NPP is tribalistic. At the end UK was the sick nation of Europe . Is that what ou want for Ghana?

Gabby? Please don't be one of those who admire every westerner. You need to do more research on this woman. She was very brutal and did not care about the effects of her actions, we cant have that in Ghana. This will further divide our already divided country and the song only got to no 2 and not 1.

Well for your information, people find it difficult to insult the dead. Not so in Mrs. Thatcher's case. If you are indeed a learned person as you claim, (your law degree was gifted you as we know), then simply reading the news on the net will reveal to you the true picture in the UK. Most people, including MPs, are indignant with her state funeral. You are either naive or simplistic. Don't accuse others of being tribalistic. look yourself in the mirror and and look around you. Akufo-Addo the certificateless fraud of a lawyer has surrounded himself with his tribesmen just as Kufuor did. This is no prophesy, but until the NPP changes its ways and embraces other tribes as people of equal standing in the society, you will struggle to win an election again in Ghana. Useless people as the Nigerians say.

This idiot Garbage Otchere Darko thinks he can talk rubbish anywhere. There is nothing useful anybody can learn from that witch Mrs. Thatcher. She messed up the livelihood of her fellow countrymen and blacks in particular. She was a racist evil woman. During my studies in the early eighties in England, it was hell for some of us. About Property Owning Democracy, if you dont have the money, you cant own anything. As we experienced it in Ghana, when Thief Kufuor and his henchmen did not have money, they looted Ghanaian coffers. Most of the problems we are facing in the world today were caused by Mrs. Thatcher and her friend the senile and demented Ronald Reagan. Since Garbage Darko had the chance to clean a few toilets in London at that time, he taught the evil Thatcher was a good person.

In the context of African politics, creating of wealth and distribution of production is clearly far-far different from the industrial exploitative capitalist West to adopt the killer Thatcher policy that only came to deprive the majority poor masses to enrich the few elites in society.

Just like Rawlings fake revolution that despicably privatized all our once industrious nationally owned enterprises to be owned by his heartless bitch wife and their poor campus rats, Thatcher policies is widely seen as one of the worse ever in the political history of the British people and thousands of immigrants who work so hard to contribute to the National Insurance scheme and the British economy yet were highly despised by the Conservative led Iron Lady's monster hatred policy against immigrants.

She will simply go down to history as an atrociously evil and wickedly heartless woman who unbelievably gave all her support to the widely condemned South Africa Apartheid racist segregation regime who disrespectedly disregarded Blacks and encouraged the monster regime to aim and shoot to kill at peaceful Black demonstrators when the entire world was against it.

It's so sad a Black African will write such a distorted article to paint the bloody evil monster, called the Iron Lady who played a huge supportive role of Nelson Mandela's continue imprisonment as a messiah.

Why are you even surprise that non of the African heads of State, both present and past, apart from the head assassin aparthied man Botha were not invited to her funeral?

I am very proud of the boys who screamed Ghana money at you and your four-wheel drive! The fact of the matter is that corruption and graft are endemic in Ghana. Of course,everyone is not corrupt, but the fact of the matter is that no one lives on an island. Thus everyone is affected by the courrption going around. For my part, the boys deserve praise because what they uttered is a signifier of empowerment that speaks to power.

HOw can u critize Gabby when most of u guys dont live here in UK or no the facts. If certain social changes have not taken place under her premiership, Britain would have been a shadow of what it use to be. If u dont want to work and have free everything like most people want, then u will not support NPP. If u work hard u can achieve it. With the right policies from the government and support from the financial sectors eg. banks and susu savings. Hard work pays. Stop depending on the government for every handout.

That Thatcher is to receive in death a regal version of the public goods she denied others in life makes her a beneficiary, an undeserved beneficiary, of irony not its practitioner. Irony begins where dogma ends. Like all dogmas,the dogma that is market fundamentalism is no friend of irony but its very antithesis.

I don't I agree very much with Margaret Thatcher's style of government but there is something to be admired by her.It is not only her conviction politics but her nationalism and steadfast believe in her countries conservative principles.So far as she is concern, her country and its interest come first and that can not be compromised. In batting for her country, she stepped on so many toes.Although she singularly opened up the market for house ownership for all to enable those in council properties to own them.A policy that benefited several Ghanaians who later remortgaged their houses for their capital to put up their houses in Ghana and to set up businesses.On the minus side Ghanaians who were not resident but who delivered their children in the UK,their children were not granted automatic residency unlike in the US.She was an enigma who influenced the world during her time.In paying tribute to her An commentator said the first thing Donald Regan will ask on a sensitive foreign policy is what Margaret says about it.That is measure of the woman.
