  • Didn't she and Reagan deregulate the financial industry allowing the greedy pigs

    to steal people's money. Thatcher and Reagan's Free Market included destroying

    the carefully constructed laws to prevent a financial crisis. Since 2008, we have

    seen what Thatcherism and Reaganism has brought us- another depression

  • I hope Elvis Costello chokes on a shit sandwich and dies. He's been washed up since his first three albums anyway.

  • BOOBS!

  • Elvis Costello did really bad out of Thatcherism didn't he? The eighties were awful to him, werent they? Well, after his one hit 'Oliver's Army' they probably were.

  • so emotive - yes she was a cunt but then all of them are - dont delude yourselves that she's the only one and certainly dont listen to some racist's song which is true torture to listen to - costello is the one who should have been shot in 1979 not thatcher

  • Margaret Thatcher - the worst prime minster we have have EVER had, and the foulest and most pathetic excuse for a woman who was ever shat into existence.

    May she rot in in the deepest depths of Hell for all eternity.

    It would be no less than she richly deserves.

  • All her friends and her two children have flown leaving her in a Care Home. Well she never believed in Society, only individuals and families. Care of the elderlies and vulnerables are in the hands of profiteers now. Remember Winterview Care Home in Bristol where secret filming of abuse took place??? ...a result of Maggie's privatisation policies. Owners of these care homes make millions of Taxpayers who foot the bills for their patients.

  • Be still. It won't be long now. Can you imagine the karmic bill she is going to have to pay at the end of her feast. I wouldn't wish that on anyone...except her.

  • I am truly ashamed that Thatcher ever was Prime minister of our country!

  • When this piece of shit dies we should all be given a shovel each so that we can deliver her in person to satan. This miserable bitch hopefully will die in agony.

  • murdering basterd

  • No death is slow or long enough for her. She was evil, can't wait to dance on her grave.

  • "our revenge will be the laughter of our children."

  • the irish hunger strike of 1981 is all i have to say about this excuse for a human being.

  • Mrs Thatcher was a fantastic prime minister.

  • You anti-Thatcherites are a bitter and twisted bunch aintcha! Guess the majority of you all must be lefties. Open your eyes and look around you.Hasn't Mr Blah and Mr Brown done a fuckin fantastic job.( Not ).I'm not stickin up for Maggie as anyone with half a brain should know that all politicians only look out for themselves. They're all shitters!!Maggie is still alive though,which is more than I can say for our economy. Thanks Gordon,ya Wanker!! Great song Elvis!!

  • @pongtubepete why dont you open your eyes and start to see and think for yourself instead of listening to shit you hear on the tv. Are Labour to blame for the economys in Portugal, Ireland, Iceland, America, Greece and all the other countrys that are struggling? Its the greedy banks that fucked this country and all the other countrys. Think back to the 80s when the torys where in power, they got us in more shit. This is one of the richest countrys in the world.

  • @djpecky

    Everyone on here needs a reality check, ppl hating for the sake of it, the fact is she had THE BEST ECONOMIC POLICIES EVER end of. I study economics and I can tell you she pulled us out of 26.3% inflation and made the country come back from the brink of being like greece is now, we would have a SHIT standard of living if not for her, and you do realize those unemployed people were a waste anyway, and went on to be far more efficienty used and gorw our economy and she created 2miljob

  • @403766

    by creating 2 million jobs, are you including the hundreds of thousands of people she moved from dole money to disability money? you know the ones I mean? yes, thats right, the ones that are a big part of our problems now. She sold off our publicly owned energy/communications/transpor­t services (hows your gas bill looking?) She introduced an open and easily abused expenses system to 'top up' MPs pay.

    THE BEST ECONOMIC POLICIES EVER?study harder, now go to the back of the class!

  • I wonder will Mr Costello write something similar for Gordon Brown? Godzilla compared to Thatcher's King Kong.

  • Thatcher destroyed the U.K. Her son is just as evil and corrupt. Brown, Cameron, spot the difference...NONE. All a buch of c...s

  • this woman was an evil monster. id rather spend a night alone with hitler n gary glitter rather than thatcher. if i ever saw this woman rest assured i would have killed her with one dig. still hate THATCHER

  • Ahh,it's good to see people still sniff glue.

  • This song sucked, if someone wants a dig at a politician, can they at least make a catchy tune out of it. Gave me a headache listening to it, didnt even rhym.

  • " All she thought of was betrayal ".

    Maybe she always knew.

    Plus that twat Cameron.

    Great great song though.

    Ugh...

  • Truly great song.

  • evil fucking bitch - the day she pegs it, I'll drink a bottle of something good to toast the devil for claiming one of his own. Pity she's too senile to realise the contempt her former subjects hold her in.

  • There is no better way of giving people freedom than a free economy! She did well and so did ronnie but the world has moved on and so must we. Communism has collapsed and socialist just want to share other peoples hard earned money. so capitalism must reform and grow again, its the only way.

  • cos capitalism is working so well lately isn't it.

  • The UK is richer today than ever before, why? Its not because of socialism is it?? Capitalism is reforming itself because markets can correct themselves where as the communist system would simply collapse. In a few years the UK will still be very wealthy unlike where we were with Labour in the 70s. We couldnt even bury the dead. Some country that is to live in.

  • In the nicest possible way....please go and boil your fucking head.

  • pathetic pro thatcher crew i hope you understand her so called econmic succes is now biteing your arse gas bills up water rates up privitisation great idea! ps those shares you bought worth much now are they?

  • All the problems we are having now, the root cause is her and Regan's blind devotion to capitalism and degregulation, thanks for the legacy you bitch!!!

  • oh now come on people, werent the faulkland islands worth it? that whole 5 square mile island string? you dont think it was worth it?

  • and 5 miles of sea around island belong to the state too. On that surface you can parc lot submarrines even yelow one.

  • oh well then that makes it better i suppose...

  • better i suppose... , they tought is better. Strike of fisherman in northsea, easy tuna, you suold check UN rights for wails...

  • she is dirt

  • Repugnant little vastly overrated worm , he is not fit to lick the dirt off her shoes , not that the Lady herself is going to let a low down nonentity like McManus (lets not refer to him by his silly stagename)bother her , after all she's fried much bigger fish than this sad little runt in her lifetime ,i acknowledge that unfortunately he will probably not die first but if he did , rest assured i would regard it as poetic justice for this disgraceful lack of respect towards his superior being

  • eat a fucking dick

  • Excellent comment, thanks :D

  • you are welcome my friend , these anti Thatcher idiots wouldn't know a great national leader if they fell over her.Remember the massive inflation we had before she took over , remember the 20foot high piles of rubbish on the streets and the picketing of the cancer wards plus the morgues having to stockpile corpses because no one would bury them etc etc etc , all due to callaghan's weakness in the face of the striking unions ,oh boy did she get that subversive scum on them on the run

  • I do agree 1000%! also I will say one of the best things she did was get rid of rats like Scargill.. Tut thinking about it all makes me wild!

  • And she helped to build the foundations for the 'free market' farce we are living in now.

    Her 'weakness' for fucked up economic bullshite is now as laughable as the 70's unions. Long term whats going to cost us more englishrove? 'Great' leader? History is already rewriting that.Global recession because they all fell for Ron and Thatcher selfish blind alley.She's alread dead - killed by the greed she helped build!

  • Long term , the dangerous subversive trotskyite, marxist unions wanted to drag this country down to where it would have been ruled by the same iron control their soviet masters delivered to the pathetically subjugated people living miserably under Honecker,Jaruzelski,Chernenko and countless other 'do as i say , not as i do'east european dictators who were in abundance at the time, i'd say that would've been the greatest cost of all .Thatcher and Mr Reagan put this trash on the run god bless them

  • and god bless the ground she has coming, twisted old bag,

  • that just about sums up the poor opinion i'm getting of you.You too are going to die eventually sunshine , and whenever that happens i hope people who care for you don't have to read disgusting comments like that.

  • Bombastic, bullying self opionated buffoon.

    Why do all you Thatcher lovers resort to belittling the people who have different views. You remind me of what I hated about her, and the party she represented, smarmy, arrogant, smug and self centred.

  • that wasn't just having different views simpleton, that was hate filled spite . to compare Mrs T to a monster that systematically butchered and gassed a whole generation of people etc etc etc was plain wrong and you should know it.Isuggest that if you can't take a little bit of criticism due to this absurd comparison without coming over all sensitive then i advise you to think before you go about upsetting people because in life you are bound to rub someone up the wrong way with such an attitude

  • Her attitude to the working northern class stunk, if she could have got away with it she probably would have gassed us.

    You are the one who's senstitive, have you not read other comments in this blog? When I die I will at least not have to worry about fucking up millions of jobs, lives and a country. She deserves nothing. You must live in the South. She was a dictator who was kicked out of her own party for that reason.

  • A stunning, moving and sincere performance. The suggestion that Thatcher be given a state funeral is ironic given that she was so determined to dismantle so many aspects of `the state`, especially those intended to protect the poor and the powerless from exploitation. Surely, following her doctrine, her funeral should be put out to public tender with the lowest bidder getting the job.

  • I think the funeral should be held in a small town north of birmingham. Might make it more interesting...

  • Hurry up and die whore

  • I love this song. Wish we had something as good about George Bush. "There's one thing I know I'd like to live long enough to savor/That's when they finally put you in the ground/I'll stand on your grave and tramp the dirt down"

  • we do, check out 'ted leo the high party' not as bush specific, but pretty good.

    i've always thought the first verse of 'brilliant mistake' summed up bush pretty well.

  • 'When England was the whore of the world, Margaret was her Madam'

    That line sums up what a lot of people think about Maggie.

    The crazy thing is the pro-Thatcher brigade constantly rabbit on about the 'economic success' of the Thatcher years. What economic success exactly? She gave then UK something it never had before: Four million Unemployed.

    Memo to pro-Thatcher Loonies: There's no such thing as a successful economy with four million unemployed. Even her 'success' was actually a failure.

  • Give the witch a state funeral they're saying now......  Fuck that! Have a street party more like. Looking forward to dancing on her grave.

    :)

  • She's certainly evil, but she's no witch! That's an insult to witches everywhere! :)

  • Stunning song. "When she held that lovely face in her hands all she thought of was betrayal."

    Thank you forever, Elvis, for that epic one-liner which completely describes her and her whole satanic ilk.

  • Moving, very very moving. The enormous amount of feeling he puts into this, flies straight from the heart...to the heart.

    Wh@ else can be said...Elvis Costello us all like it is.

  • not long now we will be forming a queue to 'tramp the dirt down' on the old bitches grave! It is true only the good die young!

  • good ole maggie

  • video is a good idea but why leave the end blank? So many pictures could have been used to depict her poisonous legacy.

    Lets arrange a huge party to celebrate the day when she pegs out

  • beautiful song, accurate sentiment

  • moroseo, the base rate was NOT 26.7% before 1979.  What are you talking about?

  • state funeral my arse , she should be stuffed in a wheelie bin and flung in the landfill when her days are over

  • Moroseo is 19yrs old enough said!

  • moreso, are you a half whit, dont you understand youre living thatchers legacy, next time youre waiting for your train or bus that doesnt arrive think of your great lady, next time your utility bill goes up think of your great lady. live in reality, try scrape a living in a community like Easington, devastated by your great lady and then hail her. Let her do one good thing in her life, die!

  • I am disappointed that she has never been ripped apart by a pack of rabid mongrels.

  • it was that lot that deregulated the buses and trains and privatised energy suppliers you thick t*at...

  • numb cunt that was the point i was making

  • crikey, i got yer message last night on my phone and thought you were referring to me as a numb cnut, but now reading your post in context i can see you were agreeing with me and slagging moron off.

  • no didnt mean to offend, if youre at the wake(party) ill get the first round lol

  • What history are they teaching now, Thatcher should be hung drawn and quartered, what is it with 17-24 year olds and their belief that Thatcher was great,she raped, pillaged and destroyed. Should be ranked with Hitler, she tried to sanitise the working classes and gave away state property, to line the nest.

    Its nice to know we are all being screwed again by the very things she gave away, still they make a fat profit. Hit the bastards with windfall tax and the shareholders as well

  • Never read more nasty, + dangerously subversive trash than this.You happen to be talking about one of the greatest characters in our history you cretinous moronic oaf , it really sounds to me as if you have had your mind poisoned by the left leaning spew some of your ''progressive'' teachers have no doubt brainwashed you with.I could forgive you such ignorance given your age but to rank her alongside Hitler is beyond contempt.If you feel up to an intelligent debate about this bring it on anytime

  • Its strange how true blue resort to bullying rather than disprove a statement. Your response epitomises Thatcher and her shite party. My teacher was Thatcher I lived and worked through that period.. You are an assumptive pratt, I was made redundant twice in that period, and had two jobs to support my family and pay the mortgage. You call yourself english your a traitor to all that England stood for, your a pompous arse..

  • I agree with all the stuff you said

  • meant to post my comment on your thread I agree with everything "englishrover" said

  • @ferrethaslanded How about taking back the assets, reclaiming them for the citizenry?

  • This is what you get when you promote individual freedom? and go learn some economics, socialist morons.

  • Good for you numberstation, i will celebrate the death of this ice cold mass murderer myself, slante ceole agus crack.

  • Brilliant post, brilliant song, evil bitch !!!

    Thanks for uploading

    Does anyone know the chords to this song?

    Cheers

    JB

  • moroseo,

    You are hardly one of the disaffected are you. You sound like one of those who is doing ok, and is fine that some people who have different values have to struggle. We dont all want to be "middle England man", doesnt mean we dont have national pride, in fact some of us believe the country to be about ALL of its Citizens not just ourselves or a flag... and Im sorry but she IS a cunt of the highest order and also a traitor to her people. Champagne on ice.

  • most of those council houses were repossessed in the early 90s when interest rates went up to 15% coupled with high unemployment brought on by the tories disastrous economic policy.

    Public transport is more expensive in this country than anywhere else in europe & is a national joke, thanks to thatcher's "great car economy" & privatisation of bus & rail networks.

    Its a pity the chimney went thru her bathroom. that would've been a great way for her to die, on the toilet.

  • Hitler, Stalin, Thatcher, Bush. EVIL.

  • Many of the social problems we face today are because of Thatcher. From a lack of affordable housing to asbos and poor public transport. Labour has accepted the settlement and now no one speaks for the ordinary workers. I take from Margaret Thatcher that the Prime Minister has to represent the whole of Britain and not just the narrow sectional grouping they adhere to. If Scotland becomes Independent the SNP should build a large statue of Maggie as she will be one of the people to thank.

  • on the contrary ,it does give me reason to call her a cunt.

    try telling the families of the 10 brave men who died on a political protest in the h-blocks in 1981,one a fellow member of parliament, that she's not a cunt.she's a cunt of the highest order and will rot in hell for what she forced those men to do.

    i say again my friend,she's a cunt of the highest order who dosen't have a humane bone in her body.

    "the eyes of the IRA they are upon you oh maggie thatcher dear."

    cunt,cunt,cunt,cunt!

  • She gives cunts a bad name.

  • @johncelticfan the IRA? A lasting monument to the peace and democracy ........ :)

  • You mean the 10 murderers, bombers and thieves don't you? But that doesn't matter to you Celtic cunts does it, because they were 'political' murders, bombing and robberies. They chose to starve themselves to death. That was a choice they never extended to the victims of their brutality.

  • Hurry up and die bitch!

  • lick my sweaty balls my friend,she will rot in hell for what she did to this country.try telling children of parents who divorced as a result of the miners' strike that what she did was for the good of the country,try tell the people of chile that she's a good person after she harboured general pinochet who butchered thousands of their people.she is a cunt of the highest order.

    go back to your tea and scones at the village fete you middle england arsehole.

  • @johncelticfan

    Well doen for beign such an ignorant twat your parents must be proud, jobless twats who cant be asked to work and make little scum lie youmfor benfits.

    Thank you thatcher for being the greatets economic prime minister britain has ever had and givign us all such a higher standard of living, and you were right about the E.U being worse for britain and now labour has done ti again and mindless wasted our money.

    iron lady, never backed down

  • you muppets hate her because your parents and freinds hated her and i fought i was funny

  • Numberstation, these fuckwits are always known or related to dictators around the colonies whatevers left of them, hence the love for this despot

  • Joan,I literally have a bottle of champagne sat waiting in the shed for when this evil fucking monster dies.I am a mild mannered bloke,but having lived through the shite she created,I would happily dance on her grave.

  • Socialism works in the other European countries but has never worked for the UK economy. Almost all economists agree that Margaret Thatcher brought huge improvements to the UK economy which is why they have now climbed to worlds 4th largest economy. The socialists will never give her that recognition because to them capatilism is selfish. The formerly socialist labor party has only continued her economic plan and expanded upon it. Socialists incorrectly stress equality rather than prosperity.

  • Long live Maggie....

  • Why is it that most of her "admirers"(a)arn't old enough to have been affected by her policies,or(b)don't live in Britain?Odd that,isn't it?

  • Cunt whore tramp slag

  • Total scum - Long Live Scargill.

  • Pity they did'nt get her at brighton.

  • thatcher the butcher.

  • Thatcher is a fucking twat,what she done to liverpool an up north in genral is a fucking disgrace to the human race

  • To see the real anger of Elvis, somebody should post his rendition on a BBC art program dedicated to Spike. Just his face, his guitar, this song. Much better than watching the face of the subject.

  • I've just uploaded it!

  • Thatcher the milk snacher we named her when i was a nipper.We used to enjoy our milk at school and one day it stopped.

  • omg who made this its a fuckin truibute its great britain will never forgive her and so they shouldent up labour down the fashist rite wings basterds

  • Too bad such a beautiful melody was spent on the female equivalent of Bush or Cheney...wait...that's too great in insult! Who's worse, her or Condaleeza Rice? Whatever...they're all soulless buggers bound for eternal karmic debt!

  • Well, I lived through it. She decimated whole communities, and her mindless monetaristic policies created record levels of unemployment. We are still living with the egregious individualism she introduced into the public life of our country, and probably always will. I'm not on welfare (a curiously American word that, surely?), but you're damned right I'm mad at this hideous golem of a woman. No such thing as society? Probably not now, thanks to this witless, braying harpy.

  • Not from the north then?

  • Heh! :) Yup, I'm from the North!

  • Ah,such wisdom from one who isn't old enough to remember her,and who doesn't even live amongst the people she shafted.

  • Why don't all of you list of the outcomes for the UK had she not been in power for 11 years. Where would Britain be? Would she still be "the sick man of Europe" suffering from stagflation? Would she have amassed even more enormous amounts of debt? Would the exodus of the talented have continued draining Britain of its innovation? Please describe the UK has she not have come to power.

  • Well I suspect my school wouldn't leek so badly, I in some area's up north a high price house wouldn't cost £7,000. Of course the mines might still be open, and I suspect BL or British marques in general might still be functioning. Of course we wouldn't have such a strong economy, but then money isn't happiness! And yes I know the unions were a bit too strong, but now our teachers want more pay the unions have such little power they aren't going to get it. She went a bit too far. There you go

  • Probably doing quite well. Quality of life is much better in those countries with the Scandinavian/Rhine model of captialism.

    Stagflation was a world phenomenon, other countries (except USA)seemed to manage quite alright without ripping the heart and soul out of thier communities.

    Through nothing more than spite and revenge she fucked coal industry.

    Hey we might even have had a workers paradise had Michael Foot been elected, might have been a beacon for the world, who knows

  • Its almost as if its cool to be a young right wing git these days. They all swallow this 'freedom' right wing libertarian bullshit coming from the states. Its as if they are rebelling against the big bad socialist conspiracy. They're everywhere, loads of them age 17-23. Its a bad state of affairs if rebellion is right wing. Fuck me the right really has won the propaganda war for now

  • stop wasting oxygen

  • Who's Thachter? Hahahahaha. Shit for brains.

  • Thachters my pet rock freind who the fuck do you think ?

  • msg to the tit who replyed to me

  • Backbone?You fucking idiot.

  • Wonderful, not long to wait now I hope.

    Lets hope we get a national holiday for the big event. Boots, and dancing shoes at the ready.

  • Oh bollocks,looks like I'd better take my boots off for a while longer...

  • thatcher still lives...bah.

  • .what we do in our lives is a is a path for the young ones to follow..."and i hope that you die...and your death will come soon...and i'll follow your casket... in the pale afternoon...and I'll watch as you're lowered ...into your death bed... and I'll stand over your grave 'til i'm sure that you're dead "... a wee song for Maggie.

  • Her face still makes me feel sick, evil bitch!

  • tramp and piss on it.

  • This is one of the finest and truest songs I have ever heard (and my favorite singer). I was at the Gulf war.

  • Too right a generation will dance on her grave. The fucking Cunt

  • Don't worry about running out of pictures. the blackness at the end said it all. Boots ready...

  • fuckn bliss!!!

    If there was every a man who tells it exactly how it is........it's costello alright!!

    Thatcher deserves every last piece of dirt trampled on her!!

  • Fantastic work! Just talking to my old man about maggie and how I want him to live long enough for us both to visit the grave and tramp it down... He hadn't heard the song untl I showed him this. The pictures wound him up a bit tho ;)

    Cheers John!

  • no probs,thanks.

  • Shit I thought she was dead - or did i just dream it - I woke up with mud on my boots - do you think I'm psycho do you mama - I've just killed Johnies pup ------

  • I love this album.

  • In fact, this is the only clip with this song on youtube.

    About Spike, besides Veronica and ...this town, I found a couple of live versions of the album, LITTLE PALACES and ANY KING´S SHILLING; the sound is not good, but the clips are nice and rare.

  • i remember watching this when there was a costello special on tv when spike came out ! i have never seen such controlled vitriol in a performace ever ! i am not really a political person but the anger in this song is tange-a bile !!
