Ah let her have it. She aint the problem any more, and the more anger you direct at her the less you have to direct at things you may actually be able to make a difference about.

And, if you actually care, at least a state funeral will mean she is dead and you can FINALLY move on.

Funnily enough if Cameron was in power then no way would he sanction such a thing, seeing as he likes to distance himself from the unmentionable one, publically at least.

Anyway, is this anything more than *bored speculation*?

Of course I am assuming that the real fear here is she'll get a big dogs balls Diana job, which I doubt.

All the same I can't see whoever the pm is by then not turning up to the bloody thing.

Also I think some here don't want her to have a funeral at all.

Thatcher may go but Thatcherism survives.

Venerating her and what she stood for would make the world a worse place. whereas decrying her and having people be jubilant at her demise and dropping her cadaver down a disused mine shaft would lead to poeple understanding that there is a widespread hatred of her for what she did and what she stood for.

I wonder, 'ah let them have it, they're not the problem anymore' thing - as it would be euqally true of say, Pinochet or Idi Amin, would you have felt it was OK for them to be buried amongst public mourning at vast expense to the countries that they decimated?
