IS IT appropriate that Margaret Thatcher is given a grandiose funeral? Does she deserve such veneration? She had little interest or respect for the poor and despised the collective organisation of workers because it gave them power. After many years as the Prime Minister, her policies and personal qualities made her so unpopular that even her own party decided she was a liability and was too unpopular to be re-elected. Many were surprised she escaped an international inquiry after her order to sink an Argentine warship in the Falkland invasion.
