Fuck all - North Korea are not nearly weak enough victim for the tin woman ponder attacking .
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.
Bang on the money with that post. Baring in mind that this type of funeral was held was for the Queen Mum and Lady Di before them, I don't think that there anyone who would put her in that catergory of people,

For what she achieved as Prime Minister she deserves it.

I may be mistaken but I'm sure someone said on TV the other day that Thatcher herself was consulted about any thoughts she had,a few years back, regarding her funeral.
If that is true then she must have known the shitstorm it would cause or possibly living in a twilight world.

El Presidente
I wonder if her funeral will be sponsored by the City
Here today on Sky we have Thatchers funeral brought to you in conjunction with Citibank group and HSBC
Like the rags did for the 50 year Munich thing the state could have loads of kids waving union jacks in HSBC shirts and Citigroup ads on the bearskins of the guardsmen.
St Pauls could be renamed the Barclays arena for the day

You believe all the media bullshit. North Korea have a neighbour with god knows how much conventional military hardware and american expertise.
I'd want to guarantee my safety with a nuclear option. Haven't you noticed what happens to countries who haven't? Iraq being the obvious example.
Thatcherites won't enjoy this but as usual Mark Steel makes some great points in his own inimitable way.

Isn't that a bit cynical?

For what she 'achieved' as PM, she certainly deserved a lot of things. A multi million pound funeral that millions of families she marginalised will have to contribute to paying for isn't one of them.
