Fixed that for you mate.
This is a very naive opinion at best and thanks to the person for correcting it!! Her death was always going to bring out the comments we are seeing here. I dont have any strong opinions against her (tin hat being donned) however she certainly made mistakes. She had no interest in sport, she had no awareness of the positive power of sport and the well being it brings individually and to the wider economy. You can double that for football. The ID scheme that she tried to introduce was a farce and thankfully the Taylor report after Hillsborough scuppered that when it was determined the emergency services (mainly police) were responsible for the deaths. As far as I'm aware no smoking gun has emerged that directly implicates her in the cover up BUT he's hard to see her not backing up the police after the support they provided during the miners strike.
For me that is reason enough why she should not warrant a minutes silence.
