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'.'"
I believe that they can be insured to cover funeral costs etc but the insurance industry perceive children to be of little value, hence the derisory amounts paid on suing any one/organisation for the death of a child

| Quote: SaintsFan "No. I don't read the Telegraph either. I read The Times (but I don't pay a quid to read their online version). If they come up with 300 as well then all that will tell me is that they have all got their information from the same source. I very much doubt correspondents from each paper went up to the group and counted them. There certainly didn't look like 300 when the Sky cameras were there.
But according to the leftie media, and I include the BBC in that, there was going to be loads of trouble at the funeral today, that's if anyone actually turned up (since obviously everyone hated Thatcher too much to bother turning up).
As it happened, apart from a couple of boos all I heard on TV was lots of applause in some places and respectful silence in others, and then some pretty desperate attempts by Sky and the BBC after the funeral to hunt out some protesters. Of those, the only comments I heard were about the cost of the funeral. Hardly a revolution on the streets.'"
So, it's a no then, unless you read it in[i The Times[/i or saw it on Sky/BBC.
And because you only heard a couple of boos that means that the protestors didn't turn up.
And because objectors didn't turn up they are all mouth and no action
OK.
It does sound like you are disappointed to have lost an opportunity for outrage.

You do have a knack of missing the point, I wasn't saying that you were outraged, but never mind, as long as your enjoyment wasn't spoiled by the 300 silent protestors that you missed, that's the main thing.

Good to hear a bagpiper led the procession.

You've never heard of let alone been to Goldthorpe ?
Think of any of those ex-mining villages in your vicinity, or some of the worst bits of Consett...
They are luxurious wealthy villages compared to Goldthorpe, the only thing that improved Goldthorpe was when they built a by-pass around it a few years ago so now you don't have to run the risk that when driving through it the lights in the centre might change to red and you'd have to risk 60 seconds parked in the bloody awful place.

Oh the irony. The fact you are discussing them at all shows they had impact.

Of course it does. It has had you engaged in discussion over several pages of this thread. The fact you typed one work on the subject of their protest is proof it has impact. The fact their story has been reported in the news has drawn attention (including yours) to their point of view is further proof. No impact? A baseless and ludicrous statement on your part.

Seeing as the funeral took place in London did you expect anything else but fawnage from the locals. You blowhard all week about people showing no respect. Then get all keyboard warrior because thousands from the North didn't turn up and wreck it. I would imagaine that the majority who hated her (like myself) just could not be d to turn up.
