    Yes I do. And I think that my country, America, should have ordered its flags lowered to half-mast and closed all federal offices at the news of her death.

    No. She was an excellent leader - the greatest peacetime prime minister - but she did not want a state funeral, so it was right that her wishes were respected. She was certainly deserving of a state funeral, though.

    By my recollections SHE did have one ......

    And NO i dont think she deserved one at the expense of the English tax payers . personally

    i think the ordinary english person endures more than enough thru poll tax .water rates .

    and enforced taxes without having to pay for the burial of M. Thatcher .

    The estimated cost came to 3 & 1/2 million pounds at not the original 10 million as first thought .......
