This is a tough one, it goes against everything I believe in... except granting the dead their final wishes.

This might provide a dilemma for Elfin, not sure he'll be happy having to pay an admission charge to hit the dancefloor on her grave.

I don't see why my taxes should go towards his entertainment.

Signed. Absolute quality.

Signed and shared.
As for her being the first female prime minister, yes it's a tremendous achievement, however gender equality still had a long way too go when she left office.
The policies of privatisation seem to have been a very mixed blessing in hindsight, there's a lot of hype about Thatcher that seems to have gained momentum thanks to the mediocrity of most of her successors. I resent being asked to help fund her funeral arrangements at a time when the economic climate dictates that I will have to fork out an extra 6% on a rail season ticket.

Genius. Signed with pleasure.

Just burn her in a Wheelie bin

Lovely, signed. Now which private bodies might wish to stump up the cash? Any suggestions?...

So what do you reckon jumpupanddown - good idea or not ? Did you sign it ?
.
The problem with the petition, as I can see, is that for it to remain a "state funeral" any privatisation would have to be on the basis of a private finance initiative. And as we all know, the taxpayer ends up footing the bill whilst private companies make a nice fat profit.
I've signed the petition anyway. Although I would much prefer a public event which in these austere times involved shoving her in a cardboard box and dropping it down a disused coal mine.
Or as Frankie Boyle once suggested - give everyone in Scotland a shovel and they'll dig a hole so deep that they'll be able to hand her over to Satan personally.

Wow. When I signed up last night, there was less than 5,000 signatories, it's already over 10,000.

Here I am!
This is one e-Petition I have no problem signing. Brilliant idea. In fact I've forwarded the link to all my friends. If we all do the same, then there's every chance it'll be discussed in Parliament. If that were to happen before she'd even died, even better.
Tick-tock....

With Elf's all round skills, I would expect him to be hired as the choreographer/dance leader, so he would earn a fee.

Signed, forwarded, and bumped.
Its what she would have wanted.Posted 5 months ago # -
Signed.
JUMP UP JUMP UP AND GET DOWN.

Signed, 10636 so far, so still a way off the 100,000 needed to discuss it in parliament, spread the word.
Posted 5 months ago # -
well it was only at 7000 (i think) when i signed yesterday so at this rate should make 100,000 before she croaks
with luck the mail/torrygraph will pickup the story and get all outraged about it
that should give it the publicity it needs to break through

Ooh I dunno if I'd be able to manage that if it happened soon, what with me gammy hip an ting.
But ittud be along the lines of something like this:

I think Thatcher was a great PM. She doesn't deserve a state funeral though as she was too divisive. A good case against it made by Peter Oborne.

Given that she sold most of Britain on the cheap I think the privatised companies should pick up the bill, but can you see French owned utility companies doing that

I often wonder where we would be now if Foot, kinnock or any of the other Labour hopefuls had got back in post 83`
Would BT have been privatised ?
Would the IT Boom have happened when it did ?

I think it's safe to say we wouldn't have had Billy Elliott.

or the full monty?

No. If Foot or Kinnock had won then Britain would have missed the IT Boom.
Thatcher was such a visionary that she made her Labour Party Conference "burning with the white heat of technology" speech back in 1963.
