I was somewhat amazed and dismayed at the news coverage of our former PM's death - it was way over the top for one of the most divisive politicians we've ever had the misfortune to suffer (until the current one). Even Labour politicians have been told to be nice - is it some conspiracy? What's the next step, ask the Pope to beatify her? We must have very short memories if there is all this adulation for a woman who split the country, made us fight a war that could have been avoided was only saved by cheap oil prices.
But no! It gets worse,we now have to pay a reported £10m for her funeral. We cannot afford to repair schools or look after our sick and elderly but we can still manage to squeeze this enormous sum from our bare coffers for a woman who said she didn't want a funeral such as this.
Then there's the hypocrisy of the Tory party; if she was such a wonderful leader, why did they dump her with such ignominy?
