Insult to working class
Published Date:

TO give Margaret Thatcher a state funeral is an insult to the working class of this country.
Her legacy included dividing the whole country, i.e. the dreaded poll tax, decimated the shipping industry, manufacturing, mining industry, steel industry, over three million unemployed and many more including against trade unions fighting for justice.
How can the Queen and Gordon Brown back plans to give this woman a state funeral costing tax payers over £3 million?
If they want to give her a state funeral let it come out of the massive expenses the politicians are getting including the Conservative Party who support-ed her when she was Prime Minister, destroying our industry and sending us to unnecessary wars i.e. Falklands, Afghanistan. We criticise the Labour for taking us to war, forgetting what Thatcher's legacy was during her reign.
