Rather than say anything about her time as PM I prefer to say something about her as a local MP... Every christmas she hosted a party for local old people and even my almost communist mother in law said she was lovely... and would not be bothered by other issues during the time she spent there. I also know people who worked at the houses of parliament who found her...

I agree with Barmaid....Never seen or knew much of Richard Chartres but today he was spot on...I am waiting for the full text of his address to be published.
When the funeral costs are calculated, I wonder how much of the money is money that would be spent anyway...eg salaries of the attending forces. I wonder if there is a breakdown anywhere or if its been pulled from the air?
I think its too early to judge her politically, you need the perspective of history for that.

"wives, mothers and grandmothers" aren't buried in St Paul's; I'm still irritated at being told I mustn't say what I think about what is clearly a grand occasion of state, for which I'm paying.
(The idea that it's an investment is intriguing, though; how much would the country make if I were to kill, say, Prince Andrew? Is it my civic duty to do so?)
Nice answer from rowanwitch, all the same.
