I'll be in Amsterdam on the day of the funeral. I doubt they'll be marking it.  |

| Quote: LeedsBornWelshRoots "Imagine yourself in the position of the person responsible for the safety and protection of the coffin and accompanying dignitaries. You would be intent on doing a good job but also in avoiding any possibility of you being made a scapegoat if anything did go wrong. In other words you would be watching THEIR fronts and YOUR back.
Now suppose a serious, life-threatening incident took place on a part of the route that you had decided didn't require the guards to be armed. Your ass would be grass.
They'll all be armed alright.'"
So it will all come down to what is perceived to be permissible as a protest and what is not in this specific circumstance, which is probably a unique circumstance.
An incredible risk to take. |

And why would they?
After all it was Mrs T who saved Britain £75bn - That's BILLION in our rebate from the EU.
Compare this with all the money Blair and Brown wasted.

I was in Holland on the day of Princess Diana Queen of Hearts' funeral, it made the news bulletins but not the hysteria that was apparently seen on the screens in the UK - which is the point that needs to be made really, doesn't matter how grand an affair we treat things as, most foreign news media simply report it as a matter of fact item unless they get a big tasty story to latch onto, soldiers tackling protestors in Westminster would be just that story.

It is a class approach to life. Seems very logical to me.

Presumably you'd have thought the same over, for instance, Hitler?

So, are you consistent?'"
I wouldn't ''celebrate' any humans death, no matter how evil. What those people did doesnt warrant any celebration of any kind at any time whether dead or alive.
I don't subscribe to the old don't speak Ill of the dead no one is beyond criticism. |

Fair enough.
But other people – a small number, it seems, felt differently. I can understand that even though I didn't do so myself. |

Success is not final; failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. (Winston Churchill):d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_40218.jpg |
|
| Quote: JerryChicken "Just going forward do the people who are responsible for organising her funeral really believe that it will pass off without incident ?'"
Given that the Queen is attending I would imagine there will be full on security and any protests will be kept well away from the route. |

Although Minty, I do however think the funeral plans are OTT and with her being such a decisive figure the whole thing should be toned down.
But I find excessive public grieving/ funerals a bit crass anyway.

You're able to identify which people are going to shout abuse and which aren't ? |

Of course. According to some on here- it's quite simple don't you know?
The ones shouting abuse will be dressed in tracksuits and hoodies. The ones applauding will have top hats and monocles. |
