Rejected petition Margaret Thatchers State Funeral

More details

The fact that Margaret Thatcher is celebrated by many is not sufficient to support her receipt of a State Funeral.

Please note.

1/ The rampant deregulation of the City and finances has inevitably led to our current situation.

2/ She is a divisive figure most of the country do not accept she is entitled to this honor.

3/ Churchill what ever you feel about him was seen as a national figure above political divisiveness.

4/ A state funeral for this person would create a feeling of total political dis engagement for a substantial percentage of the population and send all the wrong signals about politics and power to those least well of in our society.
