If you want to watch funeral then you can do via this link on tinterweb

Cameron read a Lesson "In my Father's House, there are many mansions..."

Assuming that Thatcher has not descended to the boiler room, may one hope that she's now just a skivvy?

From the above

"However, the parade has not attracted the support of all of Goldthorpe's residents.
Caroline Woodcock said: "I agree completely what she did was wrong - closing the steel works, the pits - but this is a person, she's got a right to a peaceful funeral."

Amen to that

Wrong,

Living people have rights. Dead people do not.

Re: Ding Dong the Witch is Dead

If she wanted a peaceful funeral then her kids shouldn't have agreed to the public circus of today.
Deleted this comment on reflection....was a bit harsh.
Carol Thatcher couldn't hide her dislike for Markyboy,,it was blatantly obvious,,and good on her,,at least one person in that place wasn't playing to the cameras and the Queen .

Re: Ding Dong the Witch is Dead

Mrs T organised her own funeral so I doubt that her kids would have even thought of changing their mothers wishes.
I agree with you re Carol, she really couldn't hide her contempt for her brother and good on her, if I had a brother like that I'd have disowned him years ago.
Re: George Osborne getting upset, well sorry I can't agree with you, everyone deals with funerals and their emotions in their own way.

Re: Ding Dong the Witch is Dead

So she knew the country were going to do all this? Not the impression I got from the furore surrounding it but heyho,,
I 'll agree to disagree with you on Osborne (cos I like ya lol)
And Thank God it wasn't just me seeing Carols attitude,,she really wasn't hiding it well lol

[/FONT][/COLOR]Wrong,

Living people have rights. Dead people do not.

People don't exist in a vacuum, we have the rights that our fellows decide to bestow upon us us.
If some of us say that the dead have rights, then that is exactly what they have. The same as for the living really.

Would you say that on bonfire night when they burn an effigy of Guy Fawkes? Perspective plus someone at the crematorium did the same to Maggie today

Re: Ding Dong the Witch is Dead

Would this be the same Goldthorpe that the residents say they lost all their jobs and are struggling to survive, because if it is I saw no evidence of that when they were all dancing in the streets with pints in their hands.

Re: Ding Dong the Witch is Dead

guy fawkes died over 200 years ago, and was a traitor to the Crown.

Thatcher was the leader of the country, unless I miss something never commited treason and it is the she was buried.

Personally I neither liked or disliked her, I was taught to sing Maggie Thatcher the Milk Snatcher and things like that, but I find it very distasteful to be burning her effigy when (for example) Myra Hindley's death was for the most part ignored.

Not everybody agrees with your sentiments.....

for some people she did commit treason but she was cremated and the ashes are to be buried

Personally speaking, I have to say that i admired her in my childhood but learnt when my brain connected and I thought about things that her final years were the ones that really was bad. She had achievements no doubt about it but the last week or so I have watched a couple of clips from her era and the arguments then are very similar to today, ie helping the rich and taking from the poor, etc etc. Her argument was: typical of Labour wanting to spend money that we cannot afford. The arguments are almost identical. Puff, Myra Hindley was one of two people connected with the murders of kids on the Moors. I suspect that Brady's death might draw more comment. Furthermore, there was not much facebook and twitter and tinterweb when she passed away but there is today so more likely to draw a strong reaction today....
