tomcatwarne: It is the burial of a British Prime Minister, in England.
Damn ridiculous with the financial situation that exists at the moment. Cracking down on benefits for those who are below the breadline and trying to exist, then squandering millions on seeing somebody off.

The House of Commons hasn't approved the cost of the State funeral,and the MP's represent the people,voted them in,therefore the people do not wish a State funeral.

chris i disagree with paying for this funeral with state money i also disagree with using my taxes to pay off Greeces debts through our membership of the IMF but there is nothing i can do about either
Isn't the IMF coming for your help,if ever find yourself in the same economic state as Greece????On topic... If you don't agree paying for this funeral,write to your local MP.-

Does that mean the funeral will be cancelled due to lack of funding or put out to tender for the cheapest deal which would be a fitting tribute to privatisation. We can all line the streets with photos of her and stab it while wailing and add in the cost of wailing too.

How we celebrate our important rituals says something about our customs, beliefs, politics, and society.
the Brits have a lot to express in this funeral - 12 million Euro to pay their respects to her memory and what she meant to the UK.
