Only in Great Britain could you see such an event like Baroness Thatcher's funeral - what a occasion and worth every penny the country spent on her funeral. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

The protesters disgust me, fair enough if you don't like her, but to protest at someone's funeral!!

^^^^ I wonder why the UK is so deep in the then It baffels me how we can find 10 million to spend on one funeral, but can't find money for other very important life saving situations. |

A big chunk is coming from Maggie's estate........plus as VA says in a round about way it will probably indirectly generate more than that in tourism and media buzz. |

Ok I get that, but I still find it hard to believe the country could pull in 8-10 million pound from tourism from one persons funeral. Current: 06 RR Sport HSE TDV6, Bonatti grey, black leather. Defender 90 pick up. Vito 110cdi

MisterAdam - but look at the bigger picture, one person's funeral but a person who was recognised Worldwide. Will be happy if 1/2 that was spent on me! 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

I do see the bigger picture because I don't have love/hate for Thatcher, lucky for me I'm not old enough to of been effected by anything she or her party did or didnt do, so no emitonal attachment for me like so many people seem to have.

I'm also too young to remember her as PM, but im sure what she did/didnt do has affecetd us all greatly in the way this country is now, you cant have someone in power for that long and think it wont affect future generations |

Just because you're young doesn't mean you haven't been effected by Maggie Thatcher.

Even though they are allowed they shouldn't. No decency. Scum. |
