They will have to have 24 hour security at that bitch's grave to stop people shitting on it.

[cunobelinusX31]

I spent my youth marching and rioting against that bitch! Throwing petrol bombs at police in Walthamstow and Leyton! Scoring weed in Brixton at anti Fascist marches, the solidarity with the Jamaicans and the Irish. The hunger strike, the RA! Getting my head kicked in by police in Romford! What a great country to grow up in!

[bellybroom]

who is singing this version??

[spectrum99122]

@bellybroom The great Robert Wyatt wrote and sang this, covered by Elvis Costello and Suede among others.

[HeathenLoveGod]

@spectrum99122: Actually, Robert Wyatt did not write it. It was written by Costello and Langer (see Wikipedia)

[spectrum99122]

How anyone can like this evil woman is quite beyond me.

[zghvbn1]

she took my milk away and it just went down hill from there !

[rocknmurphy]

I was in Ireland in 81 when all the guys and Bobby sands died in great part because of that witch-bitch... That woman should be punished for her crimes.... And the song is just a pure jewel...

[Johnnytightfit]

What a cow

[djbethell]

"And I'll try unceasingly to... fuck up as many people's lives as possible".

I'm having a party the day this monster dies.

And I'm going to playing this song as I do.

[spectrum99122]

@djbethell Good job mate, can i come to the party please?

[djbethell]

@spectrum99122 Without a doubt! Bring a bottle, your heart and your soul; all the world is welcome!

[martianware]

Don't make me laugh about the Falklands...how would you feel if Argentina was laying claim to the Isle of Wight?

[martianware]

Thatcher is one of the most evil bastards ever to have existed...would love to piss on her grave, but as she is undead, no doubt she will be here when I'm long gone

[andreaprodan]

Yuppie Britain is a full reality, a creepy shadow of the USA. No more pride for the simple, working, folk... justa a third-rate chapter of Sex and the City for consuming masses.

"St.Francis of Assisi!!!!" For CHRIST's sake...who wrote her scripts?!!

Warmongering Cow.

[boneivi]

Thatcher ought to have been executed.

And yeah, johnchapple is an utter moron.

[dogdogcatful]

@jonchapple

You are an absolute ignorant fucker.

Anyone else agree with me?

[AncientFan]

The contrast between the images and the song show just how bad it is.

Where is the triumph of the Big Bang now? She & New Labour sold the workers down the river, it's a New Britain now, full of City Gents.

You will be paying off their deficit. And now the great British Working Class has been Despatched by Them. Just like in the song - you will never be shipbuilding again.

Easy for me to say this now - Robert Wyatt saw that in 1982 - with this classic song.

Awesome.

I feel for you.

[paucannell]

jonchapple you are a ****** idiot

[jonchapple]

Oh, and not to mention her stand against the butchers of the IRA (which the Left roundly and inexplicably condemned).

[jonchapple]

So to all of you on here Thatcher-bashing, just think of the alternative. Open your eyes and think about where YOU'd be today without her. The only problem is that now we're in exactly the same fucking mess again due to socialist Labour incompentence, and there's no Maggie waiting in the sidelines ready to sort it all out.

[jonchapple]

Thatcher disagreed. She showed the Argentinians what for when they tried to take a British protectorate (full of people that want to remain British) by force, she showed the unelected unions that they could no longer cripple the nation's economy and bully politicians into doing their bidding and she finally starting balancing the books after years of Labour bingeing on debt (sound familiar?). Denis Healy went to the World Bank for a loan for Christ's sake!

[jonchapple]

Without her Britain would be a Third World country now. People are so quick to forget. It doesn't even bear thinking about if Labour had've remained in power during the eighties.

Have you ever seen the TIME magazine covering the Falklands War? It's no surprise they went with the title 'The Empire Strikes Back'. People were shocked that we actually fought back. In the world's mind tired old Britain had had its day and it should just settle into its post-war decline with dignity.

[Omnomfischesuppe]

We need to stand up for ourselves! It's time Britain stopped being the old sad man of the world and grew a massive pair of balls!

[redsman3456]

thatcher rocks we need her back

[jonchapple]

Amen

[telecastro2]

Sadly only history can judge this evil woman now. Words cannot express the horrors this 'thing' inflicted not just on Britain, but on so many other countries around the world both directly and indirectly. We can only hope that she wakes up in the middle of the night, reaches over in the middle of a lucid period for the husband she still thinks she has only to remember he's gone. Again and again... Margaret Thatcher: long may she live and suffer.

[kenfig]

Look at the evil psycho bitch arriving eagrely to start doing her damage !!

[jonchapple]

Yep, because Castro's Cuba is a workers' paradise... You fucking idiot

[Argantonio]

This woman.....OH! She's Pinochet's friend!

[poneil69]

This horrible bastard quotes Francis of Assissi,fuckin die bitch,do it on a pay week so I can come!

[bluesbrother37]

isnt this kind of thing happening now? Are people really happy with new labour, tony blair has fucked us all!

[duerdenn]

Off with her head!!-did you hear?-off with her head!!

[robertodedomenico]

..genial,, thanks,, rob

[duerdenn]

A state funeral for her???-maybe a state execution would be better-& I would not mind my taxes paying for it!!!

Seldom has one person been viewed so often thru rose tinted spectacles as this woman.

Irrespective of how poor JimCallaghans govt was the fact remains she will be the most divisive individual ever to have ruled the UK.

Good riddance Margaret!!!

[silmalila]

Very moving.

I can honestly say that here in the States we were fed a different version of events in Britain in the 80s, as we always are about everything.

Very good video.

[Bobsherunkle]

Nice video, Sir! God, I miss the eighties - not!

[dermotoblong]

yeah right mate. i'll never forget thatcher and now they want to give her a state funeral you couldnt make it up.
