Margaret Thatcher to be given state funeral.

[S1ur]

Is this true? because the Daily Mail reported it so obviously I need something more reliable than that

Last year Guardian reported 'there were no plans' for a state funeral.

Anyone heard this from anywhere other than the DM?

Is she dead?
Or are we not waiting till then?

Is she dead?

LOL at Fabio.

fabio

No not dead, yet.

pmsl @ Is she dead?
Or are we not waiting till then?

Be warned on link there is a photo.

slur, you could cause chaos with this thread title you know.

when did she die? Haven't heard anything?

Why not ask a few ex-miners to line the streets! - I bet they'd be delighted.

oh i thought she must be dead

lol at fabio

rather at the op tbh, then I realised she isn't dead.

I saw the title and thought she'd died. I was about to call dh to tell him.

god that photo is terrifying

bugger, I'm gonna have to put the champagne and party poppers away again now Slur.

Indeedy PW

In my defense, I thought exactly the same thing.

DP thinks there would be protests.

Personally I think Elvis Costello had the right idea to honour her death with. State funeral...pah!!

fuck is she dead?

i nearly shouted to dh!

Good good all of you can have same shock as me then, I thought I missed something (but googled quickly to check before mentioning it to DH)

Some of the comments on that link are rather erm interesting. Lots of Americans singing her praises - very odd imo.

Blimey, another one here who thought she'd snuffed it!

if she dies tonight, Slur, it's on your head mate...

i saw her (work thing) recently and she was going strong. alas.
