The Beat - Stand Down Margaret

[gorrillion1]

i think 'greatdarkspot' is joking , surely , please someone tell me that he is , my only problem when maggie dies is gonna be knowing which party to go to and celebrate , there'll be so many of them going on ... might even make a weekend out of it ... fucking heartless bitch , rot in hell ..

[MrPeantbutter]

I'm 15 and I saw the beat last night... and they opend with this song and all I waas thinking was stand down cameron stand down

[cubbycab]

fuck- haven't heard this song in 30 years! :O

[stevieshy]

Greatdarkspot 's a bit of a knob. isn't he!

[sabbathwho40]

@stevieshy Yes he is, perhaps he fancied the old witch

[sabbathwho40]

The sooner the old bag dies the better. I'll burn her at the stake then dance around her funeral pyre all night., and drink myself stupid

[sabbathwho40]

@DubyaMorris0769 Here, here, post it here and i'll be round. I'd like to burn the old witch on a funeral pyre and dance around her burning body all night!!

[GreatDarkSpot]

Maggie was great - kicked some Agrie ass and dismantled part of the welfare state (not enough, though). Be nice if someone like her came around again, soon.

@GreatDarkSpot

Study your political history she sold out Britain too the yanks she went too war for tiny strip of land and a few sheep many British soldiers killed! won votes as she was on the down .She bought in privatision and destroyed the country hence the mess we have know poll tax and much more she let the bank of England run a mock and made a false economy .Every one was out of work ring a bell .dickhead .

After my dad died in 1984, after being made redundant during Thatcher's decimation of South Wales' industry, I promised him (and myself) that when the bitch died, I would take a day off to get pissed and celebrate, with a view to one day pissing on her grave. C'mon... DIE!

[earthgodspy]

i.m not with this english beat tat - in my day they were the beat 80/82 and were up there with the best and still are as good today as back then. top tunes

[Rumpio]

Somehow I can't see McFly protesting David Cameron and Nick Clegg.

[KestrelF]

Err.....this is "Whine and Grine" not "Stand Down Margaret"....Wha'ppen?

[JDog1024]

@KestrelF Its all one track

[MrGranty666]

stand down margaret n let some other fookin toll rule the country

[smartalek1]

funny how everything they sang about almost 30 years ago is still going on right now, only worse

The rich have gotten MUCH richer since the heyday of the Iron Maiden & her Yank soul-mate Ronnie t'e Raygun, while everyone else -- not just the poor; EVERYone -- has lost ground.

But anyone who points this out is accused of "the politics of envy" & "class warfare."

Well, it IS warfare, and they've been waging it on us for decades, and they're winning. Fight back, people!

[thatfingio]

@smartalek1 I hear ya

[densaner77]

Maggie! Maggie! Maggie! Dead! Dead! Dead! Oh lie down Margaret, lie down please (and don't get up).

[MisterPerfikt]

Right on Gervais

Billy Bragg knows how to write a song

and the (English) Beat knew how to play this one.
