    ^^^^^^ (bloody connection)
    A drop in the ocean compared to the wealth created directly and indirectly by her policies.

    Anyway, the government spends tax-payers monies on things far more ludicrous than a state funeral.

    I do see problems on the day though. Most Brits have a strong opinion about her.

    Does that mean that Blair will also get one as he did 10 years too?

    Maybe.
    He also will be a historical figure. He finally made the Labour party electable again. He dropped many of old Labours dearly held policies that held it back ie. unilateral nuclear disarmament and nationalization.
    Before Blair, there was an idealogical difference between the two parties when it came to ownership of the means of wealth creation (large public companies that provided necessary goods and services).
    With Blair, the Labour party finally endorsed the free market, the importance of business interests and fiscal responsibility. Basically he nicked the Tory manifesto. He is a self confessed admirer of Margaret Thatcher.

    John Major won the 1992 election when he was already leader of the Conservative Party.
    Thatcher was ousted as leader of the Conservatives in November 1990.

    Amazing - in the rest of the world, water starts to turn to ice at exactly 0 deg C.......

    But as DD said - don't let facts ruin a good story......
    Liquid water is most dense, essentially 1.00 g/cm³, at 4 °C and becomes less dense as the water molecules begin to form the hexagonal crystals of ice as the temperature drops to 0 °C. IE between 0 and 4 C water is slush.

    Basic stuff mate.

    Lady Thatcher to be Honored with State Funeral
    Ya Know, there is just a whole lot of supposition there,, Just suppose tho that there is no more UK or GB after the mossies take over the country, kill off all the royalty and turn the rest into servants and asslickers, and from the looks of things, it will not be to much longer before they do take over.
    so they might just throw her carcas out on the trash heap.

    No 'romance' going on here, B-fly. Just recognizing quality when we see it. The Hildabeast for example would have sorely loved to be looked-upon as Thatcher was but the quality is absent there. Actually, there's nobody currently on the political scene either side of the 'pond' with the cojones Thatcher & Ronnie had...

    ^ typical arrogant know-nothing Brit holligan,

    She was outsed by her party, then Major replaced her before the public elected the conservatives again out of fear for change,

    Don't flatter yourself, and stop projecting. I might have been wrong about the "island" politics of the funny rosbeef people, but extending this to my disagreement with you and the exposing of your ignorance on these matters is a bit silly,

    surely you can do better than that,

    have you tried googling Econ 101 ? sounds like you need it
