There are now several petitions calling for 'no state funeral'
or 'no public money to be spent' on the funeral of Margaret Thatcher,
current estimates of the cost of which have hit £10million on the
front pages, with another estimated £10million security cost
on top. How has this figure mushroomed so much? Well one major
reason is that our 'neutral', 'above politics' head of state has
broken protocol and chosen of her own volition to attend the event,
despite senior and very well respected politicians rightly calling
the arrangements for this funeral an insult to the people whose lives
and communities Margaret Thatcher destroyed.
Many other elected representatives of the people are choosing not to attend the
recall of Parliament today for the Cameron orchestrated deification
of a woman regarded with unsurpassed loathing by many in Britain.
With commentators
calling much of the media eulogising “inflammatory” Elizabeth
Windsor's personal decision to attend a funeral which the
Metropolitan police are concerned may spark serious civil unrest is
not only foolhardy and reckless but an overtly politically partisan
act flying in the face of the deeply held feelings and pain inflicted
on the nation by Margaret Thatcher.
It is dubbed a
'ceremonial' funeral but the voluntary attendance of Elizabeth
Windsor indeed underlines and anoints it a state funeral in all but
name.
So know this, and be in
no doubt, the person who insults you, who flies in the face of every
person who signed every petition and voted in every poll against
this, and who is causing yet more cost to the public purse, to which
money she feels so astonishingly entitled anyway, is your overtly
political, unelected hereditary monarch, Elizabeth Alexandra Mary
Windsor, your tyrant oppressor head of state.
