One privatisation we can all get behind...

[marty21]

I've shared it on FB. Do all petitions that get 100,000 signatures or whatever get a mention in Parliament? This would be epic!

they are supposed to, although I think the government can reject 'inappropriate' ones

the one with the most signatures at the moment is

Convicted London Rioters should lose all benefits with a shop lootingly startling total of 256635 signatures so far.

I think the government should go one step further and privatise her corpse. £10,000 for a cubic centimetre of Thatcher herself. That would go some way towards reducing the burden on the taxpayer. And surely an awesome conversation piece for your mantel.

It's gotta hit 50,000 relatively quickly now that it's being crapped on about on CiF, surely?

Among many others I had to chuckle at this comment:

"Truly in keeping with her legacy - & her ideology - would be to have an obscenely expensive funeral paid for entirely only by the very poorest in society, with a "select" few of the sickest & most vulnerable in our country made to carry her coffin until they drop. No?"

The darker the better.

16,014 this morning. The night shift has been pulling its weight, I'm glad to see.

 

[danny la rouge]

17,514. It doesn't have the legs it had yesterday.

 

[marty21]

still impressive - 1500 since this morning

If it can maintain 1,500 per day, it'll reach 100 000 in 55 days.

 

[frogwoman]

im sure someone can manufacture some outrage about it,pushing the total up.

It's not fair direct that sort of bile at london rioters. Either everyone, or - preferably - no one

Ooops forgot to share it - now have done

 

[stupid kid]

Can't seem to get on the site

Yes same here.but checked another petition and the same thing so must be the site itself

 

[wemakeyousoundb]

22,672 as of now
time to go advertise it

 

[8ball]

I guess once things settle down after New Year and people are feeling the 'January pissedoffness' I might plug it on Facebook again...

Only just past 25,000

 

[shagnasty]

Twenty six thousand so far and nine months to go,if people keep advertising it we could get there yet.It will be an embarassment to the powers that be ,but no hope that it will happen sadly

 

[danny la rouge]

32, 000 now.

Slow, but steady. There's hope yet ( maybe)...

Of course in the true spirit of privatisation, all money generated by the pay-per-view event, retelevisations and souvenir DVDs will be paid to the consortium tax-free. Freehold ownership of the entire funeral route will be granted plus permanent planning approval for use as a new toll-route through London, with a commitment for the taxpayer to fund all running costs and maintenance plus a 20% management fee and additional annual profit/grant on the capital value at 28% above inflation every year forever, and the public servants negotiating this deal will get a pat on the head and maybe a jelly baby if they sit sweetly throughout the whole of luncheon.

 

[frogwoman]

as long as there are further tory funerals to justify the existence of the toll-route, i'm all for it
