Margaret Thatcher's state funeral
Plans have begun for Margaret Thatcher's state funeral.
It'll be the first time ever the 21 gun salute is fired into the coffin.

David Cameron has just sent his offical letter to the Thatcher residence.
It starts "I regret to inform you that due to recent events you now have too many bedrooms..."

Not a State funeral, a funeral with Military honours.

BREAKING NEWS: A statement has been released advising that Margaret Thatcher "The Iron Lady" will not be cremated..
She's to be smelted down.
Unfortunatly as there's no longer a steel industry in the UK, we'll be exporting her to China.

Obviously staying at The Ritz is cheaper than a care home (and I'm not joking!)

Rod Stewart has been asked to sing at Margaret Thatchers funeral.
I'm not sure "Wake up Maggie" will be everyones favourite.

So we've seen the death of the one person who fcuked more miners than Jimmy Savile.
The Iron Lady has died. Rust in peace

She was the only leader to really stand her ground on behalf of this country since Winston Churchill. She did not spend her time trying to ingratiate herself with the other world leaders. She said it like it was regardless!

Reshape Great Britain, recapture an island in the south atlantic, Stop the cold war, and I am sure someone will step up and pay for your funeral

Sounds like a better use of money than giving it to half the chavs on here in benefits!
I am sure she saved us way more than 6M
