“Thatcher’s funeral: Pomp in the service of political reaction”
http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2013/04/18/pers-a18.html
On the bright side, the funeral reminded the older members of society of just how bad Toryism can be (some seem to have forgotten, despite what Cameron is doing at the moment), and, round me at least, led to younger members of society asking how one person could have generated so much hatred against herself. One young person, who has travelled all over Europe and mixed with people from all levels of society, asked “What good did she ever do to deserve a state funeral? All I’ve ever heard about her is that she did lots of damage to British industry.”
The Government may have denied this was a state funeral, but the question above shows that people saw it as such. How can it NOT have been a state funeral when large numbers of all three services were present and being paid for by the state?
The abomination that was thatcher is gone now. Her legacy will remain as long as the present tory scum and new labour scum reman in british politics. This means that nothing is going to change for the better for the majority of the population. All the hard earned gains over the last 50 years have been lost in a single stroke. only this week have elements of the Equalities Act been repealed by the tories – didn’t know? – I wonder why???
The british media as the collective voice of the 1% has been magnificent. No public comments on any newspapers about thatcher – still no public comments at all on the telegraph. How can this happen in a democracy – it can’t – we are not a democracy. The queen goes to the funeral thereby highlighting her position on political matters in this country. She’s supposed to be independent??? This is not a democracy rather an authoritarian monarchy.- or fascist state. The State along with big business in cosy alliance against the people. THIS IS FASCISM.
I agree with Humanity above – spineless british people and an agressive, arrogant and self serving state. I do not see any future for the people of this country. i am tired of it ….

No wonder Thatcher was cremated-otherwise her grave would have been almost certainly danced upon and vandalized.
Best part of the tv. news was the pit village in Yorkshire having its own version of Thatchers cremation.
It was only the Southerners who had anything decent to say about her,it’s rough up North,come North of Watford Gap and see why Thatcher’s is so hated.
Margaret Thatcher Symbolises Evil such as Selfishness Cruelty and
Power Lust for Selfish Personal Gain
Margaret Thatcher also Colluded by Associating with Child Abusing
Filth like Jimmy Savile who should of been Executed for his Crimes
against the Innocence of Children
Margaret Thatcher is an Agent of Evil like Adolf Hitler and the Slave
Driving Bosses of the 19th Century and more Recent Times
Psalm 97:10
” You that Love the Lord Hate Evil : The Lord Preserveth the Souls of
his Saints , He will Deliver them out of the Hand of the Wicked

“This is why the UK Government will never truly impose proper anti-money laundering controls, because to do so would be to undermine the system which keeps foreigners’ dirty and criminal money from travelling through the City of London, and enables Cameron and Osborne’s school and University chums to wax fat on the proceeds, whether from legal fees, accounting services, banking advice, or just plain old-fashioned relocation services!”
