caroljane Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 If Bush i or 2 had been invited to Harold Wilson's funeral in 1995, would they have gone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caroljane Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 If they had snubbed the funeral of a former British PM who had left office 20 years before, whose ideology they disagreed with, you would have praised them for not being hypocritcal.

Obama doesn't have to attend - someone [Kerry] should have attended.DennisHe would have, if Thatcher had died in office or shortly after retirement, because the diplomatic relations would be personal and fresh. But given the time passed, it is only formalities. I think it is right that the US politicians who revere her should be there.And again , were there Bushes at Mitterand's funeral in 1995? Or did we just not see them amidst the mob of mistresses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmj Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I doubt M. Thatcher would mind if the O's don't attend, at least they won't touch the queen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
