Re: Thatcher to get State funeral

I do not like Margaret Thatcher, I never have, either as a politician or as a person. I do, however, feel a bit sorry for her over this. It can't be very nice when people start discussing your funeral, right in your face, which seems to imply you're on your last legs.

Do I think she should have a state funeral. Why should she? Not everyone agreed with Churchill's peacetime politics but most regarded him as a great war leader. He was a figure-head in the darkest days of WW2 and it was fitting that he should be honoured that way. Thatcher does not even begin to compare.
