This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition Vote for the Tories...to pay for Thatcher's funeral, the cost of the eulogies in the recalled Parliament, and for the Queen's £5m pay rise.
More details
The Government should move the cost of Baroness Thatcher's funeral, the cost of the recall of Parliament (£3,000 in expenses per MP) and the £5m pay rise for the Queen away from the taxpayer, over to those who support and fund policies and opinions which support the above expenditures while claiming there isn't enough money to pay the poorest in society their benefits: for example, the disabled, who are now required to find work while the country is in recession and there aren't enough jobs for those already considered able to work; and those enduring the "bedroom tax", when tax evasion is the prerogative of the rich. Perhaps David Cameron can afford pay for it all; the ordinary taxpayer can't.
