Well glad it's all over now.

Managed to sleep in and miss the tories' most expensive party political broadcast ever so quite pleased about that.

The media will be full of it for a few days yet.

There's lots of coppers could be in trouble for turning their backs on her cortege, is it an official protest?

Really? didn't watch the grotesque show so was not aware of this.

You can't even bring yourself to give them credit for showing dignity, can you?

Aside from barely a handful, they didn't even show up. Not showing up doesn't equate to showing dignity! And those who booed and yelled things didn't show dignity. The two protestors with placards who said nothing did show dignity. So that's two protestors who showed dignity. All the rest were either all mouth and no action (didn't show up at all) or didn't show dignity. Sky had to dig very hard to find any protestors at all and the BBC made right fools of themselves before the service actively seeking protestors but repeatedly failing to find any.

If you read Dave0's link (above) to your beloved Guardian, there were about 300 who said nothing and showed dignity.

Did you attend?

Never read the Guardian myself. I bet though they would claim 300 protestors who said nothing. However, I don't believe much of what the Gruniad says when it comes to Thatcher's funeral, or indeed anything to do with Thatcher. Lefties aren't really known for being accurate when it comes to Thatcher.

Did you attend?

Nope. But had I not been unemployed then I would have done so gladly.

Of course you walked the whole route just to check that didn't you?
