She served the country as leader, no contest in my opinion.
Each leader should regardless of political views or party. Aren't they supposed to be in for the same purpose.......looking after the state of the nation. |

Ok clarify for me as I've obviously misunderstood something.
What is meant by a state funeral?? |

If she hasn't she may pop off during the Bank Holiday. U used to go away every August Bank Holiday and come back and find out someone had died. Personally I think she deserves a state funeral. That's not saying I believe in her politics, methods, views, anything really. But on a personality level she was one hell of a woman. First female Prime Minister, strong leader and supporter of this country (OK, sometimes too strong and didn't listen to reason, but...). She may have got stuff wrong, but at the heart of it all she actually, genuinely loved this country. She had more balls and spine too. So at least if you hated her you had something to get your teeth into, rather than a rather damp towel. |

Though I did not like Mrs Thatcher one bit, I did admire her. However I personally see no strong case for a state funeral.
