Why I'm turning my back on Margaret Thatcher at her funeral
We would have stayed away from a quiet family funeral. But it's not just a casket we're turning our backs on, it's all she stood for
"You turn if you want to. That's what an accommodating Metropolitan police force told me when I asked permission to hold a protest at the funeral of Margaret Thatcher. I'd explained to them that my plan was to stand on the funeral route but turn my back as the coffin passed by. Not a problem, the officer replied, and suggested a nice spot at Ludgate Circus..."
