Then again, even with all the budget cuts we still managed to give Thatcher a £3.5 million funeral. I'm not one to denigrate spectacle for the sake of it; we do it well. But IMHO it should have been funded by private donors. Those who earned millions when she was in power. Get a hundred of them - just a hundred even! - and it wouldn't cost them more than their spit.
