I guess someone has to get the ball rolling, but this ball comes in
the form of a not-very-good anagram. I hope it serves as a start
anyway.
Margaret Thatcher finally cacks it =
Late crafty 'Milk Snatcher'. Ah, tragic.

Not wishing to steal Tony 'tc' Crafter's thunder by posting his heartfelt anagram*, nor intending particularly to dishonour the departed, but I think it fair to report that some people were not so keen on Thatcher, and have a balancing gram of the same letters showing the polarisation she provoked in public opinion:
'Iron Lady' Margaret Hilda Thatcher dies
=
Oh, that's tragic. And I really admired her.
=
Not real tragic. I'm hardly sad. I hated her.
which camp are you in?
* I spoke to Tony and he was happy for me to post his 'gram.
