    As a German who grew up in Britain in the 80s, I'd like to say she was an awesome prime minister, although many of my countrymen and indeed many Brits will disagree. Sod them.
    Germany would benefit *hugely* from someone like her. Sadly, there's absolutely no-one on the horizon.
    It doesn't matter whether she goes to heaven or hell. She'll clear either place up.
