“First lady of girl power”: Thatcher’s death – the Twitter reaction
Britain’s first female prime minister died today at the age of 87. The reaction on Twitter was somewhat mixed…
IF YOU WANT to know what people think about a modern event, take to Twitter.
There, you’ll find every opinion imaginable on the issue. Baronness Margaret Thatcher’s death at the age of 87 today saw flurries of opinions being tweeted within seconds of the news being reported, and each one captured how polarising the former British Prime Minister was as a leader.
