Barry's Beef

The BBC reports on what kind of funeral Lady Thatcher will be given. The issue has reared its head after Rosie Cooper, the Labour MP for Lancashire West wrote to Number 10. Cooper wrote of the "dramatic impact" Thatcherite policies had on many constituencies in the North concluding "There is still a negative reaction to Lady Thatcher in the north of England" - got news for you, pet - there's enough people down South who can't stand her either.
The enquiry was answered by John McTernan, not the director of the Die Hard movies but Tony Blair's Political Secretary who assured Rosie Cooper's constituents by stating there were no plans to give her a state funeral. I hope John doesn't intend to give her a spontaneous state funeral then.
Anyway, it would be interesting to gauge opinion on what kind of funeral would befit the Iron Lady. Let me know.
The poll is on the right hand-side of the blog.
