Really? didn't watch the grotesque show so was not aware of this.

No mention of that here:

You can't even bring yourself to give them credit for showing dignity, can you?

Aside from barely a handful, they didn't even show up. Not showing up doesn't equate to showing dignity! And those who booed and yelled things didn't show dignity. The two protestors with placards who said nothing did show dignity. So that's two protestors who showed dignity. All the rest were either all mouth and no action (didn't show up at all) or didn't show dignity. Sky had to dig very hard to find any protestors at all and the BBC made right fools of themselves before the service actively seeking protestors but repeatedly failing to find any.

If you read Dave0's link (above) to your beloved [iGuardian[/i, there were about 300 who said nothing and showed dignity.

Did you attend?

Never read the Guardian myself. I bet though they would claim 300 protestors who said nothing. However, I don't believe much of what the Gruniad says when it comes to Thatcher's funeral, or indeed anything to do with Thatcher. Lefties aren't really known for being accurate when it comes to Thatcher.


Nope. But had I not been unemployed then I would have done so gladly.

No he sorted himslf out on the settee whilst watching it

Of course you walked the whole route just to check that didn't you?

Hardly dignified. And as for that twit of a 22 year old, he was probably the one interviewed on Sky who sounded like he was spaced on weed.

There was quite a poignant phone call to Radio Leeds today after the question was asked about whether listeners thought that the cost of the funeral should be borne by the taxpayer and whether or not it was worth the money (whatever it will eventually cost) - a woman rang and said that her seven year old child had died in January '11 and as she was on benefits she had applied to see if there was any sort of funeral grant available - the reply was that because the child had "assets" in their "estate" which amounted to the £250 Child Trust Fund payment that had been made and put into an ISA, then the only death grant that could be made was for £56.

Sort of put the £10million into context really, and I never knew that the Child Trust Fund was also intended to bury your child in the unfortunate event of their premature death - apparently it is.

If you have never read it why would you bet it said anything? You couldnt possibly know.

How actually can you have formed an opinion on a newspaper you have never read? You have no more idea about the Guardians standpoint than you do the Thanh Nien Daily.
