I read in the media her funeral will cost 12 million Euro. Some of it, her family will share,the rest the UK government.Lots of money for a controversial political figure's funeral.

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.

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.
