Setting aside old milk snatcher's many less desirable characteristics, is this really a time when we should be spending money on a state funeral, for a millionaire.
I know the cost is a drop in the ocean, but seriously it is more than a little gauling that within a week of a deeply regressive "bed room" tax we have it anounced that we will be paying for this.

In honor of Thatcherism, the funeral should privatized and outsourced to the lowest bidder.

Orthos:
You live in Tennessee.
To my knowledge, you've never lived in the United Kingdom.
You didn't have to live through her reign of terror.
I guess you don't have your nations hands stained with blood thanks to her cozying up to Augusto Pinochet.
To my knowledge your not living through an era dominated by her ghost, in which unlike many of our neighbour, the rich are getting richer and richer, while the rest of us get poorer.
With all due respect, perhaps if anyone is going to take your advice to "Then don't post, and/or hide the thread", it would be better off you.

Hey, we had to live through Reagan. Not quite as bad, perhaps, but plenty of blood stains.
And we know all about "the rich are getting richer and richer, while the rest of us get poorer." It's the American Way.

Alright, alright, calm down everybody.
Here's what I suggest:
The "I-want-to-pay-my-respects-to-Margaret Thatcher" crowd can hang out here and the "I-hate-Maggie-and-am-glad-she-is-dead" crowd can hang out here.
Comrade Anklebiter: Making Peace Since, uh, Starting Now.
