'Mrs Thatcher's funeral should set a precedent' blog discussion

I wonder how they arrive at the cost. If it includes the pay for all the Police/Miliary who were there then surely that would have been paid anyway, unless it was overtime. If the military would have been doing whatever they do but attended the funeral instead I don't think that is a real cost. I wonder if we will get a breakdown of the costs?

I have no particular feelings about Mrs T. She did some good stuff and she did some bad stuff and like anyone else who dies and who has lived a reasonably honest and moral life as a member of what passes for British society ,she and her family should be afforded the normal courtesies and respect when burying her.

This seems remarkably ... sensible
