Honouring Margaret Thatcher before Liverpool game would be an 'insult' say Hillsborough campaigners Reading chairman Sir John Madejski had called for a minute's silence out of respect for Thatcher at Saturday's game with Liverpool. However Margaret Aspinall, chair of the Hillsborough Family Support Group, said: "Any suggestion of a minute's silence for Thatcher would be an insult and a disgrace." Aspinall's teenage son died at Hillsborough and she dismissed any idea that Thatcher should get a minute's silence. Yesterday Madjeski said that Thatcher deserved to have a silence: "We have got to appreciate that Margaret Thatcher was a world leader who did so much for this country. So much that she deserves a minute's silence," he told Radio Five Live. The funeral's going to take place at St Paul's attended by the Queen and Prince Philip so I think it would be a fitting tribute from the world of football to Margaret Thatcher, one of our greatest leaders. Reading FC confirmed that they would be holding a minute's silence before their clash with Liverpool, but to remember the victims of the Hillsborough disaster not to commemorate Lady Thatcher. The death of Margaret Thatcher has prompted campaigners to call for a more detailed look into whether the former Prime Minister was involved in attempts to blame Liverpool fans for the death toll.
