The best idea was from those who simply turned their back on the cortege as it went past. No fuss, no hitting anyone, just a mark that they did not agree with her politics or what it did to Britain. Even though I admired her perseverance, it was often for the wrong cause. I am from a family of miners (my mother was from Easington Colliery!), so I know what her politics did to a lot of people already very poor, but at least proud and happy to be in their community.Britain is now sadly a completely consumerist society, run by finance and the government are merely economic managers, with no vision or humanity. This is unfortunately true in most places. Thatcherism created an underclass in the UK, ruled by an elite of high flyers. It is going to take a miracle to remedy that! The best we can do is just to individually promote actions of kindness, generosity and social justice.
The ceremony was good, apart from what anyone thinks about Margaret Thatcher. Perhaps we could do it again with all the horses, etc. just as a good day out and no funeral. Not sure that it was a good idea, but don't think throwing things at the horses and upsetting them was right, they had no choice. [/u] Hope the mararthon goes OK. All over now, St Pauls looked good, so lets all forget it.
Especially as my young DIL's mum died suddenly the day before Mrs T and they are struggling to find the money for her funeral.
Like weddings, funerals are only as expensive as you make them
