We will miss her tenacity, vision and decency

SUPERB coverage (Yorkshire Post, April 9) about the sad death of Mrs Thatcher, especially the excellent piece by Sir Bernard Ingham and the inclusion of her many wonderful quotations.

Shame though that the vitriolic comments received coverage in such a prime position as page two. I find it abhorrent that people can celebrate the death of another individual; however it says more about them, than it does about Mrs Thatcher.

She did such good for this country and got us back on our feet following Labour’s disastrous reign.

Regardless of people’s views 
of her or her politics, what 
speaks volumes is that she 
was Britain’s longest serving Prime Minster, voted in for 
three terms, a fact that is an indication of her successes 
and the respect and belief that the masses had for her; a fact 
that the Bradford MP with his foul-mouthed rants – whose name I won’t repeat as he appears to conduct his life in the hope of media coverage – cannot argue with.

It is a great sadness that such a superb leader and an inspirational woman has gone – there are too few people in 
the world with the tenacity, vision, bravery and decency that she had.
