I do think the funeral is a bad idea, I am sure that is not what she or her family would have wanted
Len Rum said:A state funeral ( or as good as) should only happen when there is overwhelming public consent. This isn't 't the case for Thatcher, she's more or less split the country in two - 50% love her, 50%loathe her. The funeral is purely and simply an establishment job for one of their own and it's a national disgrace.

Personally I think the BBC if we are gonna have to fund her funeral when the majority don't want it then why should we be gagged for protesting in this way.
Who says the majority don't want to pay?
She is a very divisive person and you only have to read or listen to the media to get that. Even a dear old nutjob such as yourself Ronnie, deep down knows that this whole ceremonial funeral is a very bad idea.

100% correct. Absolutely without precedent and while many will be sympathetic, an insult to millions. Ill concieved and an expensive embarrassment.
