Margaret Thatcher : State Funeral.

[Eric Potts]

I woke up this morning , switched on the radio , and first thing i heard was someone on Radio 5 talking about a state funeral for Thatcher .

My first instinct was to leap out of bed , put on "Ding dong , the Witch is dead " from the Wizard of OZ , and find the champagne.

Alas , however ,it transpired that this was just an invitation for a discussion on the event of her future demise .

So , what do the great and good of NSC think ?

Gun carriage procession down Whitehall ,

or Cardboard box left out for the bins ?

 

[PHCgull]

ha ha me too. On my way to my kid's rugby and he says "dad is margaret thatcher dead?"...

I bit my tongue.

?

Gun carriage procession down Whitehall ,

A milkfloat would be more appropriate.

Full state funeral.

The country's greatest ever Prime Minister deserves no less.

Gun Carriage , with her rotting carcass tied onto it with string.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I'm sure the regular funeral for dead ex-PMs will suffice.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Hardly anyone gets a state funeral. Not even Saint Diana or HM the Queen Mother.

Thatcher certainly doesn't deserve to get on the list. Nor did Haig or Carson, either. But that's another argument altogether.

Sir Isaac Newton (1727)
Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson (1806)

This.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Thatcher's funeral should fit her politics.

A state funeral costs MILLIONS of PUBLIC money. Hers should be funded by PRIVATE money. Her family should invite tenders and give the job to the cheapest bidder.

Frankie Boyle sums it up well!

 

[Elvis]

She can just count her blessings that we stopped buying withces at the stake!!!

 

[tedebear]

Just a funeral like any other person.

Full state funeral.

The country's greatest ever Prime Minister deserves no less.

What he said

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Wasn't it mentioned somewhere that they want to ship her body to the US to be cryogenically frozen ?

 

[severnside gull]

why waste a perfectly good cardboard box?

Family of wasters - well loaded - let them pay for whatever they want but don't expect me to divvy up for them

 

[SUIYHP]

Isn't it weird that I was thinking of the musical Billy Elliot earlier today and remembering how they all were singing: "Its one day more, closer to your death!"

I wonder how many former miners will be cheering her eventual demise.

Nonetheless I feel neither concerned or hateful of Maggie Thatcher.

 

[Napper]

whatever next , a state funeral for Hindley

Not quite a comparison but for what she did she should get nothing , absolutly nothing.

It will be a day of joy for millions

 

[beorhthelm]

this old cheshnut again. political alligences aside, she wont get a state funeral and doesnt deserve one either. she was a PM, not a head of state.

 

[Martinf]

Definitely NO state funeral.
