chris27292729: 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.
How come they're using Euros?
Did they call in a foreign funeral catering service?

The cost of the funeral is not the issue.The issue is that, the late Thatcher was unpopular amongst the people,therefore doesn't deserve a State funeral.-
GUZMAN1: Someone knows detail or breakdown of the costs of funeral?
I mean, how exactly those millions are spent.

she also has her supporters - if every political figure that died were to get what they deserved..... well it would be a different type of funeral.

Don't worry Chris, the new bedroom tax will pay for it no time.
Perhaps they thought of that when they knew she was failing...and completely forgot about the Poll Tax riots when she was in office.

This State funeral is not supported wholehearteldly by the vast majority of the Brits,on the contrary,many heve voiced their objections,to the State to pay for this funeral.-Obviously for this ritual some,if most of the people don't like,the State to pay.-
JeanKimberley: 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.

It isn't a State funeral...although many will be in a state of joy by the sound of it.
I see 'Ding Dong' made number 2 in the charts this week...a time for joyous celebration for most...some may say well worth 12 million.

That is correct jean, she had a lot of support in the UK, apart from the fact she was the only woman prime minister in the UK to date, she led the country to victory against Argentinian invaders. She was a woman of great principle and courage.

Perhaps if she had a ducking stool shaped coffin, there'd be less controversy.

And of course her Argentinian victory, prevented rioting,by imposing her famous Poll Tax.-
