    Should Thatcher get a state funeral?

    A Thatcher state funeral would be bound to lead to protests | Seumas Milne | Comment is free | The Guardian

    IMO no - though I would like her to be homoured there are plenty who think she should not. Compare her reputation to that of Churchill for instance.

              I propose the US Navy dispose of the body at sea within 24 hours.

                No chance. Even dead she'd terrify the gun carriage horses.

                  I voted no.

                  As much as I admire her, she was a divisive figure. State funerals are only for those people who unite us as a nation.
