Petition: Privatise Thatcher state funeral.

Thatcher state funeral to be privatised

Responsible department: Cabinet Office

In keeping with the great lady's legacy, Margaret Thatcher's state funeral should be funded and managed by the private sector to offer the best value and choice for end users and other stakeholders. The undersigned believe that the legacy of the former PM deserves nothing less and that offering this unique opportunity is an ideal way to cut government expense and further prove the merits of liberalised economics Baroness Thatcher spearheaded.
:hehe: Signed!

This is karma indeed. If I were a UK citizen, I'd sign as well. 8-)

So she will get a cardboard coffin, and will be charged for an oak one. Then she'll be charged for services not delivered and sued if she doesn't pay. Go private sector!

Signed.
I'd even chip in some money towards it if I could be assured that the funeral would take place this year.
