No, I really don't feel sorry for the old crow.

Having said that I have been through 15 years of a parent who steadily became more senile and I can tell you when they get to the stage that that old crone is at there is no point in being there and ruining your life because they don't even recognise who you are.

If you've never been there I can understand why you would think Carol and Mark to be heartless.

I am not a fan of theirs, but they are doing right by themselves.

Perhaps it indicates something of how they feel about their mother? And if so, perhaps they have a reason.

I think you are being cruel, Minty. Maggie is now a shell of her former self. Trust me, when people get to that state there is little point in spending time with them. As I said, if you've never been there it may be difficult to understand.

Having said that, if anyone ever deserved to have their nearest and dearest be cruel to them it is Maggie. Heartless, horrible woman.

Nasty, arrogant, heartless scum...I blame the parents.

Sad to see a great British leader gradually deteriorating

Her son is the scum of that family.

Another slag Maggie off thread? So soon?

Oh come now, think about it ... a total tw@ spawned by parents of the same ilk, what did you expect of him?

Nonetheless, much as I despise her, I wouldn't have wished her current condition upon her.

On the contrary, I am defending her children from the sanctimonious rubbish being doled out by a very poor newspaper.

And if you want to have a go at said sanctimonious newspaper, I will be right behind you.

Pointing and laughing at the misfortunes of a frail old lady is a bit low by any standards . Regardless of whatever she may have or have not done in her earlier years there are no excuses for some of the things people are saying about her now .
As for the behaviour of her children . No parent can be held wholly responsible for how their offspring turn out .
