You've made an excellent point: it should be a private sector affair - perhaps Sir Richard Branson could arrange for Mrs T to be shot into the depth's of space on board one of his rockets: 'God speed you ma'am!'
With plenty of corporate sponsorship, logos tattooed on the withered flesh of her corpse.
I've noted it here before, but I was in America the week they buried Reagan (Shudders).
Let's just say that Brezhnev would've been pleased with such a send-off, all patriotic grovelling, historical amnesia and fawning media arse-licky-bum-sook. Had CNN announced a week of official mourning for Comrade Reagan, whose selfless service to the party was the very embodiment of the motherland's virtues, I wouldn't have been surprised in the slightest.
In fact, had they had him enbalmed, stuffed and put on display in the Capitol, I think it would've been fitting testament to the old fraud's many achievements.
Something tells me that Mrs. T isn't going to get quite such a rapturous send-off from her compatriots.
Heh:
"Surely Margaret Thatcher doesn’t want a state funeral? I mean, that would require the government to pay people to dig a hole and fill it up again."
