Baroness Thatcher to receive State Funeral

[AntiochusIII]

Hmm. I'm not British myself but I don't see Margaret Thatcher on the same league as those individuals who defeated the likes of Napolean and the Third Reich. And it would seem that this is not a common honor.

Oh well. Not my problem.

Well, you can argue she helped defeat the USSR, which probably does rate alongside those other achievements in terms of global impact.

Personally, I think she does deserve a State Funeral when she finally pops it because she's clearly had a lasting legacy on British politics and she did bring Britain kicking and screaming through a difficult period, arguably making the country stronger in the long-run.
