Is this in remarkably bad taste. I am all for dancing on graves but surely one should wait for the individuals death and return to room temperature.
Ummm . . . . dunoo if it's too much Ben but I just done a lol anyways. Well, not so much a lol as a pffft. Couldn't help it, just came out all involuntary like.
*hangs head in shame*
Very nearly clicked to sign but realised while an appreciation of satire is one thing, endorsing its childish in-bad-taste-ness by putting my own name to it is another, so stopped meself just in time. Phew! Still, having said they do kind of have a point. I mean, it would present a golden opportunity for purveyors of street-party tat to invest in, make sure we properly celebrate the old girl's demise with a range of officially sponsored party hats and bunting and the like?
N x x x ;)
is calling these peeple fucking tossers allowed?
sorry but some peeple deserve all that life throws at them, and i hope it happens for them on a nice family day like christmas day :thumbup:
and peeple got pissed off on here about clarksons comments?
pffft indeed. :twisted:
that is aimed at the person or persons who started that website and not the above posters. just so we are cleer :notes:

Eligible is the key word. Apparently it gets put on a list of 'possible' debates.

so did you ben? i bet you did innocent
Understand that once any e-petition reaches 100,00 then it's considered by a committee for possible debate, note considered and not guaranteed.
We signed it
:thumbup:
Don't see why any PM, past or present should get a State Funeral however venerated or not they were/are.
As for purveyors of street-party tat, you mean that this doesn't happen already ?
Damn, where did I put those Jubilee/Wedding mugs, tea towels, etc.
lol
Oh it will certainly become eligible. I am pretty sure it wont be debated. Unless of course there is a lobby group for a state funeral for Thatcher. Such a funeral will require a commons debate and mebbe this petiition will then be considered.
it seems this tin pot newspaper was alredy debating this a few yeers back.

still those leftys at the guardian will be foaming at the mouth if she has a state funeral. they may even sell another ten newspapers out of it. :rascal::rascal:
I believ that was part of the general debate when the idea was first promoted.
My feeling is that prime ministers don't warrant a state funeral. Only the existing monarch does. Being a politician is a job, at least monarch has some gravitas to it, by way of history etc. But then not all monarchs would deserve a state funeral either. The current Queen of course, based on years alone. If the next one lasts less than, say, 10 years, we would have to think hard about it. They would certainly have to contribute a lot more than the odd regal wave and opening old people's home.
On the question of 'going private' - I would love to see what product placement or sponsorship deals would be plastered all over the show. Any suggestions? :giggle:
Did I sign ???? what do you think ??
Here are two relevant links

if she gets a state funeral then she has made her mark
if she doent then she hasn't

Remind me, as I'm getting a bit old in the tooth. Didn't Churchill warrant a State funeral and didn't the Queen Mother lay in State in Westminster Hall before a public(ish) ceremony?
And what about the amount of money wasted on the very public funeral of the fruitcake Diana, Princess of Wales just to up Bliar's popularity?
Baroness T is in every way deserving of a good send off. AFAIK, even Arfur Scarguts would pay in handsomely to any kind of send off fund if it pre-dates his demise :lol2:
yes churchill WAS given a state funeral and rightly so.
whether peeple on here like it or not she will also get a state funeral. live with it :notes:
all the votes in the world will not stop that from happening.
even this buffoon realised the greatness of this woman :thumbup: and look how in awe of her he is. look at the eye. lol

No, it is very obviously pre-dates HIS demise. He would pay into a send off fund, if it happens before HE pops his clogs.
