On what basis does Thatcher get a state funeral? Is it because she was the first woman Prime Minister? Or because she reversed the economic fortunes of the UK? Or because she was a successful war leader? If it is the latter then it sets an unfortunate precedent. What happens when Tony Blair goes? Does he get 3 state funerals - one each for Kosovo, Bosnia and Sierra Leone then a kick up the arse for Iraq followed by mummification until we find out what the result in Afganistan will be?
