But surely you can see the irony in it? Families, generations and whole communites are living in poverty in this country as a direct result of Thatcherism, yet the country can spen 10 million on a fake public display of grief for all the hooray Henries

It's a bloody funeral, people should at least still respect her grieving relatives.

I'm not concerning myself with the cost, that's not my issue or grudge.

I just think people should show some respect to family that have just lost a loved one. They are not to blame.

I agree.. which I why they shoukd have kept it small and private. This fawning from the media and softening this horrible woman's actions with rose tinted glasses has riled people. I personally would hate for anybodys funeral to be marred in any way, but I think the government and the media, knowing how strongly a lot of the country feel about her, have created a lot of bad feeling.

Exactly. If somebody wanted to ruin a funeral by doing something stupid then they are a very small person and don't deserve any praise. If people want to have parties about her death, do it, but don't ruin somebodies funeral, where their family members are there to grieve. Disgusting

Her daughter the racist, her son the criminal.

The family had their private funeral last night according to the news. This is just the public display

Yes and No Trouble
so far

[Vicky.]

BTW, I dont want the funeral to be ruined. Its just the only way I would actually watch the highlights. I hate funerals fullstop, I hate even having to attend family members/friends funerals (that sounds awful though). Too depressing and boring. SO no way would I chose to watch a run of the mill funeral with mass fawning over someone I dislike in the first place :S

Well at least you're not watching it. Most people who hated her are watching it and moaning when all they really have to do is turn the tv off

We can watch even if they don't agree, even if it is just to have a moan.

Course you can but then to moan about it, you're just riling yourself up. Especially if people feel like the BBC is shoving it in their faces.

Not really riled about it, don't agree with what is being spent on it etc but it is a moment in history as well, and plus I am nosy.

Theres quite a few turned backs amongst the sparse crowd.

[MTVN]

Sparse crowd? There's hundreds of people packed all along the route, 99% of which there out of respect
