- Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams reacts to the news of Margaret Thatcher's death.
Britain's ruthless Prime Minister during the H-Blocks Hunger Strikes in 1980 and 1981, has died at the age of 87 following a stroke.
She was the most reactionary and reviled premier in modern British history. She was also the longest-serving Prime Minister, being in power from 1979 to 1990.

mabey you don't understand. she wasn't just a regular politician. She effectively went to open war with her own people.
Apparently on her death bed she said" i hope i dont meet that Charlie Haughey when i get to the other side" a nurse said " dont worry about him Mrs T hes in heaven"
As a Scottish independence supporter i wasnt born when she was in power however i have read and studied things which i have to say what she did to our country was shameful and for scotland we just went to pieces as she had no interest in us or Ireland or Wales or the North of England she was primarily interested in Southern England and the rest were irrelevant.
Finally, someone has said it!
Just saw some Scottish people wearing kilts dancing in the streets of Glasgow after the great news of her death... I bet it was quite the same in many parts of Northern Ireland that night XD
Her death has opened old wounds, but it has also forced people to question the past. Irish history is always swept under the carpet. She was the enemy of humanity on all levels.
a brilliant speech
well said - and spot on - diplomatic - and not a speech i personally could of delivered
let us hope politics is rejuvenated in this time
i feel a new age of lifted burdens and truth has dawned in the last 72 hours
Well you can hardly not expect it with the atrocities committed in Ireland, and whether you like this man or not, he was respectful over her just dying, and everything said wasn't technically a lie.
Somewhere in England Culture Club's Jon Moss is crying.
Pity your men Gerry didnt get her in Brighton..................and thats from an Englishman!!
Easter Rising heroes not forgotten, neither the Hunger Strikers. Danny Morrison described Thatcher as "the biggest bastard we have ever known". Death to continuing British Imperialism.
"Oh the night fell black
and the rifles' crack
Made perfidious Albion reel"
Wolfe Tones is my favorite version
This bastard's death was greeted with sheer jubilance in Middlesbrough; we were punching the air, trust me. As for me, Up the Republic.
hard to find any disenting voices in the media at the moment.Even the BBC (an organisation she HATED) has felt the need to only interview people who worshipped her.Where is George Galloway, Tony Benn, Dennis Skinner when you need them!? As for the Channel 4 news extended edition on monday night - I thought Jon Snow was supposedly left-wing! (he seemed to love her!)
Her Irish policy was a "total and utter failure"!
Tiocfaidh Ar La!
As G.Adams pointed out above she opened up "back channels" with the IRA and she also signed the Downing street declaration.I would have thought both policies would (perhaps) suggest that she was perpared to negotiate the long term future of northern Ireland and that she reckoned the IRA could be negotiated with.I appreciate this comment will be deleted by hey I thought I'd give it a go...
Our Gerry was genuinely sad to hear of Maggie's death ............lol.
Well said Gerry.
as a scottish independance supporter i have to say i wasnt born when thatcher was in power however i have read and studied her legacy in my country and have to say what she did to us was disgracefull and scotland went to pieces as she had no interest in us or ireland or wales or for that matter the north of england she was primarily interested in southern upper class england and the rest were irrelevant.
sounds like you would have to have said more gerry but what you said was good
I'm from South Wales & this evil pariah destroyed a populas's character & self esteem, I grew up in a working enviroment where people cut throughts for an extra £, the region lost it's soul but praise God now she has.
like what.
Let us raise a glass in celebration to her passing !
MAargaret Thatcher may be gone where all war criminals go but the struggle continues to bury Imperialism in all it's guises.
Comments may be held for uploader approval..... yeah I thought so
Gerry Adams , one word !!! GENIUS !!
Yes indeed, I guess 'Malvinas' was the only word he could use, given his stance. RKH's Sealion find to start with and what FOGL are about to find next year, will prove why Maggie went in there in the first place..

I saw that
Go on gerry!
May she rot in hell! Bobby Sands is looking down on her now !!!
well said pal
Bravo.
Suharto came to power in 1965 so she was not in power at the time, howvere Menzies just a big a twerp out here
Consequences of colonisation.Takes time and generations for past atrocities to be forgotten and for people to move on.Obviously wouldn't expect the perpetrators to understand.Learn to deal with it i would advise you.Ye are not exactly the most popular nation in the world.
LOL
Lol - cheeky comment!
haha YESSSS!! x ~"jen"
YEAH! THATS WHY YOUR ON HERE POSTING SILLY COMMENTS TOO EH!
LOL...classic comment
May God forgive her what she had done!
Yes you are right, her policies failed because Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness are still breathing.
maggie, maggie, maggie, oy,oy,oy
This comment will never be approved.
LoL
you said " ignoring the will of the folk that actually live there "
..........Thats EXACTLY what Northern Ireland (and Gerry Adams) was about .
I agree with a lot of what you say Gerry but please don't call the Falklands the 'Malvinas".
