Am I being naive in hoping that there are enough people in positions of power to gauge public opinion of whether a state funeral for a specific individual would be a good or bad thing?
Yes they might think someone deserves one, but if it is going to provoke a wave of arguments, bad feeling and even public misbehaviour, they won't do it.
