Is Margaret Thatcher – the former Prime Minister of Great Britain – dead or still alive?
I was just taking a look at what is trending on Triond and which topics attract views like crazy and one key phrase in the top 5 was “Margaret Thatcher Death“.

At first, I was shocked to see such a great person dead, but I searched on Google and Wikipedia about it and guess what? She is still alive!

What is trending actually, are reports about the website “Is Margaret Thatcher Dead Yet?” which most people seem to be extremely vulgar as the website tells you whether she is already dead or not.

The strangest thing is this paragraph on the website:

I think she is still alive
It wouldn’t stand out as particularly tasteless here in the US. Nevertheless, such a website wouldn’t work even as a joke in the US because we lose track of whether our former presidents are alive or dead. If you can’t find Indonesia on a map, you probably don’t know if Carter is alive or dead. Google “Is Jimmy Carter dead,” and most of the websites that come up attempt to fill a knowledge gap. Google “Is Margaret Thatcher dead,” and snark fills the screen.
She is still alive. Very ill but alive.
not sure
good article–and you are right–it is tasteless.
“What is trending actually, are reports about the website “Is Margaret Thatcher Dead Yet?” which most people seem to be extremely vulgar”
Most people would be an exaggeration, most Tories maybe… there will be parties in the streets when the wicked witch of westminster finally carcs it
why many news report that she had been died??
it is one of the SEO way, but it doesn`t educate i think
