The Funeral of Baroness Thatcher I Vow to Thee My Country Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, Holst tune Thaxted

[@Harrbb5]

Where you dislike her or like her there is something we can agree on: she loved her country. Unlike the politicians we have today that don't have the backbone to do anything worthwhile, she did. She was the first female leader in Europe and proved that you can break into another sex dominated profession without having to shake your ass. Rest in Peace, Britain's Iron Lady.

Waltz ah I see, she killed the economy is that why inflation went down, more people invested, unemployment went down and the middle class expanded. The mines were a failing industry, it was losing money, it was cheaper to buy coal from Australia, she didn't raise taxes for the rich she lowered them from 83% to 60% no wonder we were called the sick man of Europe before thatcher.

[@GekkoKamen]

+robert houston Accepting that the RF had an indisputable role about the course and consequences of the Great War, it mustn't be neglected that on one hand almost all the British society of that time supported the decision of entering the war wholeheartedly, and on the other that there was the utter need to protect the Nation against the Central Powers' threat, which was indeed very real and imminent against all that represented the British civilisation and way of life, and that the assassination of the Archduke was only a mere excuse to generate a war in which the UK and France would be enslaved and plundered. The slaughter was caused not by them, but by the imperialist intentions of Kaiser Wilhelm, ignorant shower.

[@sa52jze]

+Jason Railson i believe most war's especially ww1 and ww11 could have been avoided, but due to the failing's of the english crown and government plus their massive ego's and blood lust million's were slaughtered and millions suffered horrific lives for many many yrs . when i see royalty and politicians at war memorial services i think they should get on their knee's and beg forgiveness from the dead and their families , their hypocrisy sickens me . when i was young and foolish i served in the brit army would never do it again or let any of my son's do it either .

[@GekkoKamen]

+robert houston My great grand father served in the Cavalry, my grand uncle was in Korea from 51 till 53 and I was trained by the Navy, and I feel very proud of those circumstances. But I can't deny that not all stories are the same, neither all reasons are. The only thing which is sadly unchangeable is the fact that they died, and most of them did their duty till the end, at sea, in the trenches, or in the air, many of them did with bitter hearts, like yours. Therefore the only thing that can be rescued from such monumental tragedy, is the sense of admiration and respect for all of their suffering and pain, both mental and physical, and rendering honours to them by means of this majestic hymn, is only but just and dignifying. My respect to you too.

[@MsPrecious61]

[@pindaa1709]

bluedog15 No, I think Johns comments relate to your outburst about someone you have never even met, yet still feel as though you can be abusive about. Yours is the socialist way, be abusive about people (because it's fashionable to anarchistic) but the second people are abusive back to start whinging. You should be ashamed of yourself. Whatever you think about her term as PM many, even her opposition, give credit to her policies. Whilst many of them were unpopular they were required and that is accepted. She was a strong women, but I guess that might intimidate people like you in your armchair eh?

The love that never falters, the love that pays the price, The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice. And there's another country I've heard of long ago, Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know. We may not count her armies, we may not see her king, Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering. And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase, And her ways are ways of gentleness and all her paths are peace.

Lets hope she is resting in peice for the family she raised and the patriotic soul she had.

"Yes, the medicine is harsh. But the patient requires it to live." She saved Britain from economic implosion with some painfully hard and unpopular decisions.
