I AM reluctant to continue the argument over the cost of the funeral for Baroness Thatcher, but I must again point out that the main cost would be police coverage and this would be about the same as covering one or two Premier League matches.
The cost of this has to be met out of the local rates, as was ruled by a judge some months ago when the Leeds police tried to get some money from Leeds United and their case was thrown out. Did not somebody once say: “The law is an ass”?
