Thatcher funeral's military pomp raises concerns at Buckingham Palace
"Buckingham Palace is understood to have noticed the similarity between a state and a ceremonial event during the lengthy preparations for the funeral.
Thatcher's funeral will look almost identical to the state funeral for Churchill, which caused no controversy because he was seen as a unifying figure during one of the gravest moments in British history. The unease explains why such emphasis has been placed on explaining that a ceremonial funeral will be held in the hope that people will understand that Thatcher is being treated differently to Churchill."
Thatcher's status as the first woman prime minister was one of the key reasons to justify a state funeral if one had been held under plans drawn up under the last government.
The guidance also stated that Thatcher was a figure of great historical importance because of her role in bringing an end to the cold war which posed such a great threat to Britain and the worldhttp://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2013/...rns-palace
>>>cold war? COLD WAR???!!!! > Pish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (hmmKorea?....)
Luckily:
Throw out the myths about Margaret Thatcher
"It is a truism that history is written by the victors. As Margaret Thatcher's economic policies were continued after she left office, culminating in economic catastrophe in 2008, it is necessary to throw out the myths peddled about her. The first is that she was popular. The second is that she delivered economic success"

Thatcher funeral: activists 'fearful of arrest' for discussing protest
"Scotland Yard says no one has taken up its offer to facilitate 'lawful' protests, but activists decry 'insidious' deterrent policing
...if police get intelligence that crimes are planned they will make arrests, which critics claim are "pre-emptive arrests".
...She also confirmed police were monitoring social media discussions about Thatcher's funeral.
...Netpol, said: "This form of deterrent policing is insidious and divisive. It undermines the fundamental human rights of freedom of expression and assembly. If fear of the police is stopping people from even discussing political protest and dissent in a free and open manner, that is a matter of serious concern."
...areas of central London would be kept "sterile", with the public and any protesters banned from entering.
...There is mounting evidence that Trafalgar Square will be the focus of protests at 6pm on Saturday.
...Ever since the 1990 poll tax riots, the anarchist collective Class War has proposed a gathering on the square on the first Saturday after Thatcher's death.
...The anti-tax avoidance group UK Uncut is planning a demonstration over welfare cuts in the capital earlier in the day on Saturday
...Stop G8, a network planning demonstrations against the summit of world leaders meeting in Northern Ireland in June, is also organising ahead of Saturday.The group is calling for protests on Saturday and Wednesday, arguing that use of public funds for the funeral is "an insult to all those who suffered from her policies and actions".
