Great post
I recall traveling in England in the early '70s. and speaking with ordinary Englishmen who were fearful they would never work again. I just saw an Anthony Hopkings movie made in the early '80s called 64 Charing Cross, which reminded me how threadbare with the life of the English midddles classes almost a generation after the war. As I lived in Germany at the time , I found it ironical that the Germans enjoyed a higher standard of living than the supposed victors of the war.
Thanks
you'd think the UK would have a standard policy for former PM's, regardless of party or popularity.
Doesn't the US require each POTUS to file a funeral plan before leaving office? There is a single State Funeral plan should a president die while in office.
Seems I heard the only one who hasn't done so is Clinton. I think all former US Presidents are entitled to a State Funeral, whether they choose to have one or not is up to the individual. So, Carter and Clinton could, if they chose, have State Funerals. My memory is that Nixon chose not to have one. Eisenhower did. Reagan did.
Found it..FYI
