Apparently, this is funeral day according to Twitter. There’s your Arts Grant money going along Fleet Street.

So if there were 'carnival' dancers on top of the hurst, it could be classed as art?

And any sense of dissent and the police look like arresting people. Even if it is non violent there could be loads of arrests for turning their backs.

Thatcher's funeral only cost a million pound.
The rest is Tony Blair's appearance fee.

Jeremy Clarkson is refusing to do interviews about the service (and his attendance at it) because he's being paid extra to write about it exclusively in his newspaper column. I wonder whether she would approve of someone exploiting her death for personal gain?

Someone making money for themselves? Yes she'd approve.

But not really. I'm not sure facing a different direction is an arrestable offence.

TBF, the police have not always considered that an impediment in the past. However you'd imagine with as many cameras pointed at the protesters as the funeral procession, they'd be on their best behaviour.

There was something on the radio about police asking of they would be turning their backs to the cortege.
