Sad to here this :(
Not happy about my tax money being used to give her a fancy send off. Her racist daughter and bankrolling mercenary son can pay the bill.
Have Ding Dong at number 1 and people planning to take pictures of them with there backs turned to a switched of tv during her funereal. Any other things being planned?
Whether you agree with her policies or not, she deserves it based on the fact that she led the Falklands War (the only just war we've engaged in since 1945) and like Churchill she's being honoured with a ceremonial funeral, with the family meeting half of the costs.
I think the attitudes shown, ie bringing in family, just go to show how low those on the left are willing to sink concerning her legacy.
That's such a graceful and kind comment concerning an 87-year old who has just died, you come across really well.Quote:

She didn't want everything privatised, please read on her beliefs and what she did in office and then come to a real conclusion. You're just deploying the Joey Bartonesque school of thought, despite the fact that Joey Barton never reimbursed the taxpayer for his short stay in prison.
If she owned an industry and wanted subsidies to her company from the state, then you'd have a point. But she didn't.
You could say that with any historical figure then. Why bother reburying Richard III? why hold a funeral for Churchill? why hold one for the Queen Mother? why bother holding one for Princess Diana? heck, why even have any tradition, pomp and ceremony anymore? scrap the lot, scrap the State Opening of Parliament. Scrap the Britannia as Labour did. Scrap military shows. Scrap the Changing of the Guard and just replace with normal dull security.
