It is shown throughout the media that views on Margaret Thatcher’s death are completely split and are expressed through headlines such as “Farewell Iron Lady” and “We can never forgive her”. There are different preferred readings depending on the newspaper, for example for the Daily Mail has the headline of “The woman who saved Britain”, this is because it is a newspaper which is strongly conservative and writes its articles following this trend. The Sun, on the other hand, has the headline of “Maggie dead in bed at Ritz” which is iconic of this newspaper being well known to have cheesy one liners and headlines and also being more liberal based newspaper.
Anti-Thatcher sentiment prompted a campaign on social media networks to bring the song “Ding Dong the witch is dead" from the Wizard of Oz into the UK singles chart followed by a counter-campaign adopted by Thatcher supporters in favour of the 1979 punk song "I'm in love with Margaret Thatcher" by the Notensibles. This shows just how strongly views on her have been split, showing that the majority either love her or they hate her.
