Maggie send-off spat

The Daily Mail picks up on comments by Guardian readers reacting to news that Baroness Thatcher is to receive a state funeral. One wrote to the Guardian to say he wishes Thatcher were dead now, while another suggested a group trip to a bar called Morte Subite (Sudden Death) to toast her passing. "Unattractive blighters, aren't they?", dribbles Ephraim Hardcastle. He clearly hasn't spent much time on Facebook: there's a group called "We'll only pay for a state funeral for Thatcher - if she's buried alive" that now has 1,104 members.
