Today Is Mrs Thatcher’s Funeral!

So, today’s the day then, and all will be revealed. We will see if the overwhelming police presence (which is already deployed on the streets of London as I write) is enough to cow any protesters. It probably will, as the police have had lots of practice in recent years in suppressing any form of protest that doesn’t fit with the requirements of the establishment. Don’t misunderstand me, I’m not yearning for a violent demonstration, but there would be no harm in allowing protesters to voice their opinion within reasonable proximity to the coffin as it passes. As it is, protest may be allowed, but well out of sight and earshot of the media.

One final thought. Mrs Thatcher will be cremated later today. Its fortunate that crematoria run on gas and not coal!
