5. The state usually doesn't pay for ex-PMs' funerals anyway..
Edited on Mon Mar-30-09 12:24 PM by LeftishBrit
they're not heads of state like your presidents. Churchill got a state funeral, but that was exceptional; Attlee didn't, nor did Eden or Macmillan or Heath or Wilson or Callaghan. Why Thatcher is supposed to get one, I don't know! Maybe so that everyone will have adequate proof that she's buried suitably deep?
