It is an insignificant sum in the overall scheme of things.
It is also less than significant when compared to the cost of the funeral of the Princess of Wales eleven years ago.
Few will agree I know, but given the choice of having had no Mrs Thatcher or no Princess of Wales, I think I could have done without "The People's Princess" but many of us may be struggling more than we are now without Mrs T.

Mrs T was the last British PM with any b@lls.
That says a lot for the men who've followed her.
In her day, the Special Relationship worked because Reagan was terrified of her, and she was in charge.
Nowadays, the Special Relationship involves British Prime Ministers cowering behind a Bush (sic) and following his every word.
Good luck to her, and I didnt even know she was dead until i read this thread. I must listen to the news more!! ;-))

Yet another boring Thatcher-bash by people whom I consider to be wishy-washy flabby near-traitors. She was very very very popular in her day, damn it she was re-elected and re-elected.
She said in the House (approx) "I never thought I would see the day when a British Prime Minister was criticised for sinking an enemy ship in time of war". Spot on matey.
Best ever PM after Churchill. Blair a close third.

Well she wasn't very popular with me .Although I think she was quite popular with a mass murderer called Pinochet .
She must be worth mega bucks .Why should the taxpayer be expected to cough up to send her off in style.
Next thing you know we'll have everyTom Dick and Harry wanting a state funeral .Tut !

Italy was on the Allied side during the First World War, a member of the Axis during the Second World War. The point being that things change. You can't judge Thatcher by Pinochet as was then, anymore than you can criminalise the USA for supporting the Taliban against USSR when they did.
History and human experience never stand still. Life is now becoming a year-to-year struggle to hold the inevitable at bay. Just another war may gain another 5 years for the free world, buit nothing is permanent.
