    Speaker's wife snubs Thatcher funeral

    Sally Bercow believes Thatcher ushered in a 'very greedy and selfish society'

    SALLY BERCOW, the wife of the Commons Speaker, has rejected an invitation

    to the funeral of Baroness Thatcher, a leader whom she believes ushered in

    a "very greedy and selfish society".

    Her decision will be perceived as a serious snub to the former prime minister

    and comes as her legal battle with Lord McAlpine, the Tory grandee, over an

    allegedly libellous Twitter message reaches the High Court.

    Bercow's husband, John, will attend Wednesday's funeral service at St Paul's

    Cathedral with a member of his staff.



    Details of Bercow's rejection emerged as ministers and Thatcher's family and

    friends backed proposals for her achievements to be recognised with a statue

    , possibly alongside that of Winston Churchill in Parliament Square.

    error of judgement.....?
