1* Whatever your opinion on Margaret Thatcher, the ending, where she finds herself [[spoiler: washing out a teacup after promising Denis she wouldn't end her life doing that]], is tragic. For someone who was, above all else, ''strong'' to have fallen into such a pathetic condition is sad no matter what you think of the person she used to be.
2** How about the bit where she finally lets go of Denis?
3-->'''Margaret''': I don't want to be on my own. \
4'''Denis''': You're gonna be fine on your own, love, you always have been.
5** Particularly poignant because you can't know whether he means "You've always been all right" or "You've always been alone".
6*** Or [[TakeAThirdOption alternatively]] "You've always been all right (even when you're) alone."
