''A ComRes survey found that only 25% of people think the event should be funded form the public purse and that 60% are against the idea.
But Tory Cabinet Office minister Francis Maude, who is one of the organisers of Wednesday's ceremonial service, insisted it had to be a "fitting event for a very great lady".

so minority wins of course as 'it's a must.. upsetting 60% of the country' 🙂

Creeky my point was about arms dealing and Africa during Thatchers reign ,the manifesto says diplomatic way. Will read next manifesto now but however it's wrote by now I would not be voting them.Have you read or found the book 'to be or not to be' yet..you should have a read,most deff not fiction but very scary the real agenda of world leaders.

Conspiracy theory papko ? nah, just fact of your q+a post to show people there is nothing wrong with tactics that put the ball in your court. As business is business.Many see the world in terms of what's in it for me.Of course on another thread on q+a you were telling someone off for doing it with the ayrabs and you may recall my ''all above the skylark '' quote in answer to you all.A two headed ship that swings from side to side as it carries on its merry way 🙂 

Bottom line is as a country we should not pay for a funeral of someone who's wealth came from tax pot to be attended by people paid from tax pot...anyone thinks its all ok ,must also be rolling round in the ''hey it's free'' tax pot.
