“I don't know why after all these years she should be acnowleged better than any other MP who has served over the years to be granted such a ceremony! Why aren't other MPs allowed the same? “
It’s simple. I’ve avoided making such controversial remarks when answering questions on Mts T’s death over the past week, but the time has come.
The reason Mrs Thatcher should be afforded slightly more advantageous facilities than “any other MP who has served over the years” is plainly and simply because she did more to drag this country out of the mess that existed in the 1970s than any other politician would have done or indeed did. She did more to improve the lot of the majority of the electorate in this country than any other politician I have known throughout my life. Don’t ask former coal miners (who were badly led by their union leaders). Don’t ask workers in heavily unionised industries who came out on strike at the drop of a hat throughout the 70s. Ask normal working people (like me) who were simply trying to make their way in life without being a burden on the State. People who woke up every morning during the 1970s wondering which vital service would be suffering “industrial action” (and thus cocking up the day for millions of people who were probably earning far less than they were).
Mrs Thatcher sorted this out. She sorted out the EEC (as it then was). She was a firm believer in the Single Market. She liberated the financial markets so that Joe Public could join in and make a few bob from transactions previously the sole preserve of a few “Old School” chums. She removed from the public accounts publicly funded industries which ran at huge losses and which were operated principally for the benefit of their employees. And much, much more which would take too long to explain.
Unless you were there you would not have a clue what it was like. I was there; I knew what it was like. I knew why Mrs T was so popular a Prime Minister. And that’s why she deserves a little bit more attention following her death than any of the pygmy politicians that have infested the House of Commons since her time would warrant.
There! That should elicit another 150 responses !!!

Yes quite so, coccinelle MT did set the country back onto its feet and it was her job and it was what she was voted in to do.
But the big difference between her and her predecessors and successors is that unlike the others she did it. She decided what was needed and ensured it was done. No other politician in my lifetime has done likewise and none of the current batch seem remotely likely to do so. And that’s what makes her different.

I just want to make it clear that I am not pro or against MT, I left the UK in 1982. I just find this strange that somebody who is elected and payed to do a job should have such a ceremony, but that's just my opinion.
I do hope her funeral is met with respect and her loved ones can mourn in dignity; having lost my parents and my husband I do know how important that is.

NJ, wonderful answer! :)
>NJ do you think any other PM will get such a funeral when the time comes? Yes, MT did set the country back onto its feet but that was her job and that was what she was voted in to do!
No other PM should get such a funeral as pretty much every PM since Mrs Thatcher have done a great job trying to ruin Britain. They also haven't had the "balls" to do anything like she did and that's why Britain is in the mess it's in today.
