I hope this song is on my local pub's jukebox 'cos that's where I'm heading when she dies and this song would be a nice accompaniment for my pint of Guiness.
can i see her tango with allendes killer hopefully the devil has a big pineapple for the whore of the pollitics of mean and auld son scotland and her sons well know the english no thanks and i believe thats of public record!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would gladly have given her a state funeral if only the bitch had held it 40 years ago, The most evil woman I can think of, did more damage than Hitler!
in casse anyone is interested, there is an e-petition on line calling for the privatisation of the old harridan's planting. i'd urge everyone to sign it.
Women fought for almost 200 years for the right to vote. This woman was up for election the first year I was eligible to vote. To my eternal regret I used that very first vote for her. I got caught up in the whole "Britains first female PM". My mother wasn't the smartest woman in the world, but she didn't - she based her opinion on a simple premise : this woman took the daily free milk out of schools. She was right - I was wrong. Pay for her funeral? I'd rather eat my own thumbs.
I get the feeling that Thatcher & the Tories were responsible for making British people much more selfish and uncaring than before. Before Thatcher 40% of Britons correctly believed the state had a responsibly in supporting the unemployed. Contrast this to 10% today.
A fuckin Tory rat that ripped the heart and soul out of lots of Steel and mining towns. I'm from Motherwell and she left the place a derelict wreck and many families destitute. The worms won't take a piece of you ya rotten old boot.
The problem is that we don't blame Thatcher enough anymore. There would have been no chance for a Blair if not for her. It is because of the ball she set rolling that there is now a chance a Milliband may lead us soon. These are supposed opposers of her party but they have embraced her systems (of money first and folk second) as if it were their skin.
It will be a glorious day when she fails to draw another breath but the vile way she changed the world will be with us until the revolution.
Many of the comments on this page are filled with the contemptuous hate they claim motivated Thatcher's policies. I have no doubt that should we have had a 'people's revolution' there would have been a bloodbath of violence and hate. I guess it's just the way I am built but I find it hard to take joy in the idea of a person's death.
@jdw1980 I used to feel the same way because she is in figure, at least, a human being. But you know, she was a key player in many atrocities around the globe-she was friends with Pinochet and best friends with Ronald Reagan, was involved in the instigation of the Falklands war, strangled former miner communities, then privatised the arse out of Britain, all the while ensuring that the rich were very comfortable. A more evil, conniving creature would be hard to find.
@jdw1980 then consider all the deaths she caused, from the falklands, wapping, and the miners. Suicides, death at the hands of her police and the misery of poverty. The school leavers in mining communities, who were abandoned, the drug and violence deaths that then resulted. The sale of arms and torture equipment worldwide, the coming financial collapse after her "big bang", and the fraud and corruption it spawned. She deserves no sympathy, she gave none.
Nearly 20 years after hearing this song for the first time. It continues to send chills through my body. even more so now that here in the states we continue down the same diabolical road paved by our so called leaders. Since I am here in the states, when this day comes please tramp the dirt down one time for me. Lastly, nobody but Elvis could make such haunting, beautiful music. You sir are a true musical genius.
Such a beautiful melody to carry such unashamed hatred and loathing of an utterly evil woman. I wish that I were able to convey my opinion of thatcher in such a moving yet hard hitting way, and not simply resort to pouring out expletives. In my opinion, Elvis Costello has never fully received the recognition he deserves as not only a great singer/songwriter but also a great modern day poet.
As for Thatcher, I still look forward to joining that long long queue behind Elvis at her graveside.
An evil woman, totally evil. She screwed up my country so badly, I may never return. It used to be such a good country, now I don't know what's happened to it. (Apologies to Jack Nicholson/Easy Rider)...
@allandssmith Thatcher had/has all the hallmarks of a high-functioning psychopath - as did Hitler ....strong?, principled? - don't make me laugh - in different circumstances she'd have been certified and locked away to protect the public....
all of you are just followers - if we say thatcher is a bitch that makes us look good - you are all fake - have your own opinions - not some insignificant pop star's
Good song. What people forget about Mags is that she caused caused the Falklands War. She cut back the Navy which led to the invasion. Callaghan was well aware of invasion plans in the late '70s and warned them off. Many of the problems in our nation today are due to the culture she created. I hope she is used as a spit roast by Satan and his mates when her time comes.
@spitfirepunx...Wer you alive at the point this TRAITOR betrayed the people of, what was untill that time, GREAT britain???...It doesn't strike me that you were, or you would know just what dammage her actions caused to the working classes, or were you at EATON, funded by Mummy & Daddy studdying to be one of the Bankers that the country has had to bail out recently?? Wise up! this woman CRIPPLED the industry of the country, and I will be throwing a party the day headlines read "Thatcher Dead"
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Oh my, calm down. She had to cut some things didn't she? Coal mining wasn't an option anymore, it was using up too much money, and in the debt we were in, she fixed the economy. Plus, coal is a fossil fuel, so it pollutes the earth......
@tehbezza OK - so by that token the bankers should have been given the boot, and fox hunters should accept that progress means their barbaric 'sport' and related jobs must come to an end...BUT NO.. they are supported and funded by Tories in 2011... a leopard never changes it's spots and their mission is to keep us down...
@tehbezza shuttit. she murdered communities at a cost to the country in social security payments 20 times the subsidies to the coal board. just because scargill was a wank doesn't mean she was anything other than a wildly insane despot. she was and, unfortunately is, an evil, mad cunt.
John Peel. Jeremy Beadle. Heath Ledger. Brittany Murphy. Natasha Richardson. They never got truly old. And you did. How many more are you going to outlive?
What really makes this for me is the fantastic difference between the soft, lilting, beautiful and melodic music and the utter vitriol, venom and undisguised hatred in the lyrics.
Die you bitch..soon please..state funeral?..oh yes please..it will be destroyed by thousands of protesters who will finally get to say.."Victory To The Miners You Fucking Bitch"...i will be there also.
@MrKaos5and durham area, cant wait for that party at durham big meeting when she has gone. and too true they will never say were she is buried cos we'll all be down to rip it up
