So the old witch warrants a ceremonial funeral but not a minute of public silence? Why? Because they know damn well it would not be respected and are saving themselves the embarrassment. It doesn't stop us chucking lumps of coal at the hearse Mr. Cameron!! If we can find any!! I can see her funeral being hijacked, the country is rife for demonstration and it is the perfect opportunity to protest. It is a mistake for the authorities to throw her this do, they are public occasions and I expect the public to have it's say.
Best for everyone to turn up in silence give her the two fingered salute. I agree, though this could go down badly.
The news announced that it would be a "ceremonial funeral similar to Diana's" - I think that's where the similarity will end! Dount crowds will be flocking the streets to mourn
I'd love a minutes applause at Oakwell where people just half heartedly clap a bit and just chats amongst themselves!
