Rejected petition No Government money to be used on Margaret Thatcher's funeral

More details

Margaret Thatcher was a strong believer in Government funds not being wasted, and she believed the private sector was a better source of organisation and funds. Hence, Government funds (i.e. taxpayers money) should not be squandered on a pompous state-subsidised funeral for her.
