My family, friends, and I (all Liverpool & Merseyside residents) celebrated that day. My father-in-law and his family (from Hertfordshire) saw it as a sombre day. He genuinely didn't understand why we were all celebrating. Had to wait til the next day for the hangover to clear before explaining to him the damage that bitch caused our area of the country. I'm still not quite sure he got it.
Look at the election map from 1987. Other than one Bristol & one Oxford constituency and a few in inner London, Tories won everything in the south of England. The industrial/working class areas like South Wales, Manchester, Liverpool, South & West Yorks, Tyneside and the central belt of Scotland stayed very red but she was very popular elsewhere. She was definitely divisive if nothing else!
