Rejected petition No Taxpayer funded funeral for Margaret Thatcher

More details

Margaret Thatcher generated strong divisions and feelings in this country, and there is still resentment for her policies today. In a time of austerity when the poor are being made poorer by current government economic measures, it is wrong that public money should be spent on the funeral of one for whom many harbour resentment.

We ask the government not to spend tax payer's money on Margaret Thatcher's funeral
