The post you are reporting:
I have tried to distance myself from this post but some things have to be said.
I have made comment, on her passing but have declined all requests for comments on her funeral.
Keith's 129# sums her up very well for me, even the last paragraph.
What I do have to state though, is that we are all different. She did not respect me or my family and I will never forgive her for that but I will not join in on Wednesday for my own reasons and out of respect to her family.
Some might not be able to do that and I can truly understand why.
Keith mentioned "And why, come to that, didn't she reward the brave Nottingham and Derby miners, who defied Arthur Scargill, by saving their pits?"
Perhaps a better question would have been "why did she close All of their pits, after they had showed such loyalty to her and her tory Government?"
BarryW mentioned
"Scargill was out to bring down the government and you know it GaryC.
He used the miners as useful pawns in his political ambitions. Thankfully a significant proportion refused to be used by him and carried on working. Those brave working miners defied the violent thugs on the picket line day after day and it is they on whom the wartime spirit of the miners rested, not the strikers. I am sure that many more would have defied Scargill if it had not been for the bullying and intimidation."
Kent Miners got the chance to try and defend and stop their collieries from closing.
BarryW's heroes, got no chance at all to do that and I fear that many will not show her family the same respect as me.
Because of what she did to them, which was twice as bad as what she did to us, wishing for a trouble free day on Wednesday is like wishing our pits were still open.
I hate to say this but Wednesday will be a bad day for everyone and this could have been avoided.
Her wishes and her family wishes should have been followed.
