She represented the country in the highest political position, that is why. Atlee should definitely had a funeral equal to Thatcher but the fact he didn't doesn't mean she shouldn't... two wrongs and all that...
I am by no means a Tory boy nor have ever voted Conservative... but why shouldn't a Lady who led the country for 11 years not be given a funeral of this stature at the publics expense? She made **** ups but i do feel she felt what she was doing was right...
I feel that many lefties will show...
What ever your political opinions i find it emotionally callous to celebrate someones death, however i really can't help but think this funeral won't pass peacefully without being hijacked by some ****, protesters etc... i hope i am wrong.
