Rejected petition No tax payer funded funeral for Margaret Thatcher

More details

In this time of austerity, we the undersigned, believe that Margaret Thatcher's funeral should not be paid for by the tax payer. The Thatcher family have the means to fund Baroness Thatcher's funeral, and should do so out of their own pockets. If we cannot afford to pay the disabled adequate benefits, we cannot afford to pay for a lavish funeral of a rich political figure.
