Ha! Talk about historical revisionism, it was Ted Heath (a Tory) that took us into the EEC as it was then, and Thatcher who was the main push for the creation of the Single Market - once that was in place everything else followed logically, Cheers

Why does that justify the sort of ceremonial burial only reserved for senior royals? Last commoner to get a state funeral was Churchill. Thatcher's "achievements" are in no way comparable to Churchill's war leadership. By your logic, Tony Blair should get one too.
