Reductio ad Hilterum.
Regarding the cost of the funeral, I believe that Mrs Thatcher had said she didn't want a state funeral.
I think David Cameron has a point when he says "I think people would find us a pretty extraordinary country if we didn't properly commemorate with dignity, with seriousness, but with also some fanfare ... the passing of this extraordinary woman. I think not only in Britain would people say, 'You are not doing this properly', but I think the rest of the world would think we were completely wrong."
It's worth commemorating someone who had such an impact on the country. All other former Prime Ministers who have died recently have had memorial services.
Did you enjoy or perhaps agree with the impact she had on the country?
She did some good things, some bad things. The point about the funeral is that it's worth providing a state occasion for someone who was political leader of this country for over a decade, whether you agree with them or not.
Incidentally, I never used to like Jeremy Clarkson. Then I found out he once punched Piers Morgan. For this, he should get a state funeral.
He punched Piers Morgan ?:))
