At the heart of nearly every funeral there will be a grieving person..........I hope these people just behave even if its just for a couple of hours,thats all anyone can ask for,,,,,not keep demanding respect where very clearly non can be given.

Dignity will come from the people attending the funeral,,,,,,,Joe Public hasnt been invited.

I've had a look at the group - it hasn't been there 6 years, Paula, where did you hear that?

Not shocked by who set it up either, no one I know or recognise.

Ah, thanks, Paula. The Facbook one only started a few days ago. Best thing is to ignore it if people are upset.

Paula, The may be confusion? their is a page on FB with that title set up in 2009 but it had nothing to do with Thatcher, however people have used that page since her death to post Hate messages



There are several other groups now joining in using that title

I agree Gwen, but I do wonder what makes some people "tick"

It doesn't do to dwell on that, Paula, some very strange people about. :-D

Some nasty messages there but nothing worse than was posted by the rabid right when Michael Foot died. Par for the course.

To put this into perspective...this song has been downloaded 20 000 times which equates to 0.031 % of the population.

And who knows how many of the 20 000 downloaded it because of MT's death and how many from this or other countries for other reasons

I don't think there's any doubt it's part of a popular campaign to get it to number one because Thatcher died.

I don't think it's that important, though, most people will neither know nor care.
