The Baroness herself did not want a State funeral.  Given the dire economic situation in which the country finds itself, and the polarised views of the public, we believe that the use of tax payers' money to fund Baroness Thatcher's funeral would constutute a gross misuse of public funds. We propose that instead her funeral should be funded by private donations.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":1,"created_at":"2013-04-09T20:42:27.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:29:01.881Z","rejected_at":"2017-06-21T12:41:12.044Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2013-04-09T20:42:27.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":null},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
