Yep, remarking that they were led by Methodist lay preachers rather than Trotskyites. |

Tolpuddle martyrs 1834
Leon Trostsky born 1879. Would have been difficult for Trotskyites to have being involved with the Tolpuddle martyrs then. |

I mean no disrespect to the child's family but were they expecting the streets to be lined (10 deep in parts), protests, a military escort, the attendance of the Queen and Duke, The PM and cabinet, the leader of the opposition and various foriegn leaders and dignitaries? The security for this will naturally cost a lot of money.

No, the woman was asked if she agreed with the cost of what was by any other description a state funeral and whether or not she thought the public should pick up the tab for what many thought was unnecessary, including many MPs when a funeral in St Pauls without the rest of the ceremony would have met with almost total agreement - her answer was that it was difficult for her to be objective to the question of state funding of funerals when her experience had been so bad, then she told her story.
You take it on face value, the woman told her tale, she was paid £56 from the social fund to bury her child because her family were said to have savings that could be used instead of public funds - you can see the symmetry can't you ?
Its a given that Prime Ministers have funerals paid for by the state and they are often in fine churches and often attract a different level of security requirement depending on the guests - this one took it to a different level though and could easily have been cut back if only to comply with her own wishes. |

| Quote: JerryChicken "Sadly you know I don't think there would be, its a matter of fact that the vast majority of parents simply don't believe that their children will die and don't insure them - they will insure themselves to make sure their spouse and children are ok, but they don't insure their children alone, I never did, never crossed my mind to do so and I don't ever recall an insurance policy aimed at protecting parents from the cost of a childs funeral.'"
I'm not absolutely sure (and what little insurance knowledge I ever had is way out-of-date) but I don't think you can insure children against death.
Years ago I was told that this was a response to the quaint old Victorian practice of insuring kids and then murdering them to claim the 'bounty'. |
