Rightly, the news broadcasts are filled with nothing but talk about Margaret Thatcher and her fantasticness. We simply can't hear enough about her. Nothing would delight us more than for the TV, radio, and press to speak of nothing but Margaret Thatcher for days, weeks, or even months to come. We're all really enjoying hearing journalists reminisce about the famous interview they did with her 30 years ago Mr. Naughtie.

Her legacy is renowned. It was she who closed the mines, closed any local authority who opposed her, reduced Britain's military presence in the South Atlantic thus lulling Argentina into a false sense of security. It was she who sold off the affordable housing stock and deregulated financial services. She made Britain what it is today.

She remained undefeated at the dispatch box, undefeated at the ballot box and undefeated at war.

I would often gaze upon her magnificent presence in the House of Lords. There she was, a baroness because of her fantasticness, and there I was, a Lord Bishop, because of being a bishop. She sat there, immaculate, fragrant, regal, silent and dignified. What a baroness! As baronesses go they didn't get more baronessy than her.

She was also a Christian, initially a Methodist but nobody's perfect. She was a great fan of St Paul. She never actually said she was a great fan of St Paul but I think we can take it as read, after all, aren't we all?

As St Paul famously put it, don't worry about death, because we Christians get eternal happiness in the invisible magic afterlife, unless you burn as a wicked unbeliever for all eternity of course. 

As a scientist who was part of the team who invented Mr. Whippy ice cream, Margaret Thatcher would have been convinced by the evidence for the invisible magic afterlife. As Pope John XXIII famously put it, don't worry about death, because we Christians get eternal happiness in the invisible magic afterlife, unless you burn as a wicked unbeliever for all eternity of course.
