As someone born in 1950 I have a perspective of life during, before and after the reign of Maggie. Two things she said were an affront to humanity. One was her regular use of the royal "we" - such as "we are a grandmother" as if she was the queen. The other was allegedly hers though someone else's originally, " a few eggs will get broken" with regard to those who lost out over her policies. An awful lot of people had their lives wrecked - bit more than broken eggs.
We will have to live with the state funeral. Cannot really avoid it however we may feel.
I prefer to remember her as seen by Spitting Image - "I used to be Prime Minister you know...."
