It says Tony Blair and Gordon Brown had a role in planning this on BBC News. Says a lot about theirs and New Labour's politics doesn't it

Vanessa 17-04-2013 11:17 AM

Shirley Bassey and Jeremy Clarkson! :amazed:

Vanessa 17-04-2013 11:19 AM

Yeah just another kick in the teeth to the protesters, cancel Cash in the Attic but finish in time for Tim. If that isn't Beeb bias I don't know what is.

Blair doesnt surprise me. Brown always came across as never knowing his arse from his elbow tbh so he probably didnt even know what was going on.

Michelle Bachmann is the craziest loon in the US congress. She's insane.

I will try and dig it out now, as that's going to bother me.

God save The Queen used to be a bit racist, if you consider The Scottish a race:

Lord, grant that Marshal Wade,
May by thy mighty aid,
Victory bring.
May he sedition hush,
and like a torrent rush,
Rebellious Scots to crush,
God save the King

You are terrible!

Firstly I am really pleased things went over peacefully with no more than isolated very minor protest.
That is one in the eye for those who deemed those opposed to Margaret Thatcher would show how low they were by being disrespectful and totally distasteful as this funeral made its way.
They weren't and they didn't either try to or in fact disrupt a single bit of the whole proceedings.
So much for being really awful,lowest of the low, spiteful and bitter people.Very unfair to have branded them that before the event.

Secondly, it was a good service,no doubt as to that at all, I still have my opposition to taxpayers funding for any of it and the Queen being there but it was a good service.

Finally, I have to say, Margaret Thatcher had good taste in hymns,(indeed classical music too), she chose 3 really good ones.
I was impressed too with her Granddaughter giving the reading, whether used to public speaking or not, that is hard to do when it is for your own Grandparent,I know how hard that can be.

Literally though, thank goodness all this is over. David Cameron now cannot throw onto the back boiler the things he has hoped would be shaded out by this funeral.
Call me cynical but I now have no trust in that man and believe he would likely stoop to anything even as has been said today, near hijacking a funeral.

Margaret Thatcher is not to blame for any of today's issues as to this funeral that people object to, the way he and his Govt. has planned it and has used it likely too as well, is to blame though.

Sorry to say Lee, if not for all day then I would say certainly for most of the day.

Brother Leon 17-04-2013 12:42 PM

Put it on for abit. Sky News were hyping it up like it was Queen Jubilee like on the streets and then when they showed a clip it was just a couple thousand from the looks of things and a few with their back turned:joker:

Cool 10m spent..
