legacy KINGSTON, Jamaica - In death, as in life, Margaret Thatcher remains a hugely divisive political figure: The tributes from admirers read more like hagiography writings on the lives of saints, rather than biography.
Detractors conjure up one her nicknames — "Thatcher the milk snatcher" — to recall how she removed milk from the public school-feeding programme to save money and as a metaphor for being uncaring. Some even celebrated with dancing in the streets and drinking champagne, clearly unacceptable even if we agree that polarising politicians must be remembered for who they were and what they stood for.
