Frank Turner -03- Thatcher Fucked The Kids

[MrCondor65]

yada yada yada, blame the bogey man 4 our own mess(we created), 2 blame st maggie 4 the benifits culture is mad and extreemly worrying that your `closed off party political doctrine.Blair/brown were out 4 there own agenda, maggies agenda wis which she succeeded until Major, blair and brown sold us out to europe, now maggies worries over europe are bearing fruit but we live in relevent comfort because of the best leader we have had, FACT

[1995Butch]

Well written!can really see a follow up! (sorry to say)

[HaychFraser]

Didn't Frank Turner go to eton...

[converter7]

@HaychFraser Eton does occasionally produce some good students :)

[BlckComb]

Turner's dad was an investment banker in the Square Mile. Yes he was on a scholarship, but it's not as if his rents couldn't have paid the fees anyway.

[olf1997]

@BlckComb maybe he wanted his son to make his own path in life instead of behind handed a coushy job without earning anything in life

[BENtoTHEchen]

i guess 22 people are nazis??

[ciscofreek]

Really good song, sums up how i feel about how we got to where we are now...

[tarpster77]

this sums up how brilliant Frank is, enough said

[HarryWhoreroft]

She didn't literally fuck kids right?

[BeeryUSA]

@HarryWhoreroft No, because fucking implies consent. What she actually did was to psychological rape an entire society. Only the idiots consented - they got fucked, the rest of us got raped.

[BeeryUSA]

I meant 'psychologically'

[McJennyferr]

@BeeryUSA haha I need to use this metaphor of 'rape' to sum up Thatcher's Britain in one of my politics essays somehow, brilliant.

[Nabster364]

Numb3rkid yep when I woke up to see the torus won I said England's fucked

[MrCondor65]

dicedinhalf....who got where

[bammo1]

and when they finally put you in the ground

[MrCondor65]

typical. ! Blame thatcher 4 everything thats wrong way society. Blame the right on LIBERAL parents 4 there little bastards going wrong. Simples:-)

[Dicedinhalf]

@MrCondor65 But how did they get there in the first place? Thatcher.

[Numb3rkid]

@MrCondor65

Usually if you fuck up a generation of people, people will be quite harsh towards you. Such as life, yet we make the same mistake again by electing Cameron to do it all again. When will the voter learn.

[ciscofreek]

@MrCondor65 yeah cos there were no liberal parents before 1979 was there? She was a selfish woman who encouraged selfishness and created the benefit culture that her heir now wants to attack the victims of.

[franksauzee4]

lyrically spot on

[detect7]

Surprised no one mentioned "Thatcher the milk snatcher" when she stopped free milk in primary schools as education secretary

[carsruleok]

@detect7

I remember the free milk,that was great stuff..

[McJennyferr]

@carsruleok Margaret Thatcher, Milk Snatcher.

[MrFenntastic]

brilliant politician

[0mgItsCraig]

Apparently... he's fucking amazing live

[skeletonw00t]

Bit rich this video coming from a guy who came from Eton isn't it?

[mattcricketdude]

@skeletonw00t Frank was a scholarship boy I believe

[skeletonw00t]

How is Thatcher responsible for kids today?

Blame 13 years of Labour for that.

[lostlemming]

@skeletonw00t

So right mate :)

[Thunderwolf666]

@skeletonw00t New labour simply continued the push of free market capitalism which Thatcher began in the 80's.

[philo0]

@Thunderwolf666 free market? A true free market has no government involvement

[rockguru123]

Fuck all the conservatives! Jumped up posh idiots!

[lostlemming]

@rockguru123

And you vote for who?

[rockguru123]

@lostlemming I don't I'm underage, but I will be voting for the green party in two years time.

[lostlemming]

@rockguru123

why greens? All they do is go round saying what kind of energy they don't want but never have viable alternatives. They don't want wind, because it's unsightly, they don't want wave or tidal barrage because it's harmful to fish, they don't want nuclear, they don't want coal or gas, they never come up with ideas of what to do with our energy crisis. Even Labour are less wacky than the greens.

[lostlemming]

@rockguru123

greens lol hmmm

[stillleftdreaming]

2:40 onwards <3

[chopper1547]

@Flanimalz She pleaded guilty to some inappropriate touching but that's it

[UberAcefighter]

trueist song ever

[Flanimalz]

Just to make it clear Thatcher didn't literally Fuck kids did she?! D:

[mrdcaiken]

@Flanimalz only when it made money

[PeasantofMercia]

that was amazing

[chrisdegroot19]

this song is sooo true haha

[Das0s]

so good.

[obnoxiousnickname]

You brits think Thatcher was bad? Oh you have never lived under the Reagan or Bush administrations. If I could replace Bush with Thatcher, I would do so in a heartbeat!

[TghIII]

@obnoxiousnickname

bullshit,, who'd ya think started us sucking at your yankie tits,, I would have said cock but I remembered its regan & bush your talking about.

[happyjellyfish]

@obnoxiousnickname The US government may historically fail its society, but the people who really get fucked up the arse are the rest of the world, so you shouldn't complain too much.

[sadgit96]

@obnoxiousnickname you've never lived under thatcher 

[upsykimsy]

Blame the folk who sold the future for the highest bid, that's right..., Nick Clegg fucked the kids! :)

[TheFlowerpot999]

were all wondering how we ended up so scared

we spent 10 long years teaching our kids not to care

[Mattypie1337]

Fritzl fucked.....

[rizo299]

I tried to explain this to a conservative I know who was complaining about Chavs. Apparently he doesn't understand cause and effect.

[nuttyboy11]

Change Thatcher to Osborne.......... And we have an instant update....... What a funking mess......... VOTE FRANK!!!

[AFCR1972]

Offensive but basically true.

[minidazzler]

Today is Maggies 85th Birthday, I'd just like to say congrats to her and may it be her last! :)

[tjford123]

thatcher touched me in naughty places

[GenericPurpleTurtle]

@tjford123 :'( me to

[MrGethinBrightside]

Those saying Blair fucked the kids are so Ignorant! He was handed shit, that he inherited from the Tories! The Rich become Richer and the Poor Poorer and it's happening now, banks are giving out millions of pounds of bonuses to there "top dogs" and the guys who cut our grass for sweet f.a are being given less hours. hmmm familiar...

[MrsLepetit]

I'm confused....I agree Thatcher was a nightmare....but .....if Wikipedia is correct, Frank was 16 when she left power ?!?! No ? Or are the dates all wrong on there ? Surprisingly accurate even so !!! ;) Love Frank's songs :)xxx

[MrGethinBrightside]

@MrsLepetit Regardless of time, we're still feeling the effects of what she did and by the looks of it, it's all about to happen ALLLLL over again. Cameron will fuck our kids :) 

[MrsLepetit]

@MrGethinBrightside I will just have to work twice as hard to enducate my kids properly....to value the important things in life/the world....Cameron doesn't get to f*ck my kids...he may make life more difficult for them....but build 'em strong, I say !!! ;)x

[lilprincess2394]

anyone who went to school under thatcher is now at least 25 sooooo to be more accurate its...BLAIR FUCKED THE KIDS. And yes i am tory. attack me at your will, i went to the same school as Mrs Thatcher did. :)

[kakaze]

@lilprincess2394 So because the problem still exists it means it was obviously made by Blair and isn't at all something he inherited from the idiots before?

[tragiccarpet]

@lilprincess2394 I'm not going to attack you, but I think you missed the point of the song. Something like, Thatcher fucked the kids ... who then became adults with "no such thing as society" in their heads ... and we wonder why society is fucked.

[IEditLikeee]

@lilprincess2394 Well i didn't..... And you should have been around to see the state of the U.K............ Frank is saying my generation is fucked up coz of Thatcher not you........... Go on FT tell it like it is.........

[MoonstompingMike1985]

@lilprincess2394 Blair adopted similar thatcherite policies for his own government. thatcher killed society, blair did nothing to bring it back and now we have a more extreme thatcherite than ever before. economic liberty doesn't work in my opinion. the free market benefit only the rich and ruthless.

[saphhome]

wondering if frank can rewrite this as Blair fucked the kids n start singing this at gigs again?

[lilprincess2394]

@saphhome AGREED

[ASithTheyCalledEmo]

@saphhome Oh yes, Labour and their legacy of getting more kids into higher education! What evil bastards!

[ckoestner]

So sad I missed him last week. Anyone go?

[funtin]

Thatcher and all her predecessors are CUNTS !

[MethuselahWolfson]

silly leftist fools.

[seany505]

@MethuselahWolfson haha listen more closely to the song, and you'll understand

[iloveken222]

well i agree with everything he says, and there are moments of brilliance in this song, but it seems to me that, while lyrically what he says is completely true, maybe he could have worded it a little better or worked more on the actual song instead of just saying how much he hates her. but overall i like it - it's something that needs to be said.

[thewalrusfan]

15 people are bunch of fucking tories

[MathiuDeFoor]

Holy shit, at least over here the teenagers are just morons, not thieves.

[nootsadog1]

@MathiuDeFoor

not all of us...

[PrettyMurky]

Heres Maggie Thatcher, throw her up and catch her.

Squish her, and squash her.

And heres Maggie Thatcher!

[PeteJones100]

oh my god this song is so fucking true!

[MichaelHeroin]

God, this song is amazing. I'm going to learn it off by heart and sing it at the top of my lungs in the corridors of my university, and see how long it takes the small army of Tories who attend there to start shouting me down!

[greenerpasturesgrl]

awesome song! :D

[trasky50]

What a knob head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nootsadog1]

@trasky50 who? not frank he's a legend

[ots2ots]

like frank love thatcher

[aberdeencat]

fantastic song wait where can i buy the album

[ex13deus]

He spelled 'Gary Glitter' wrong

[FerretBob]

Apparently there was some talk of giving Thatcher a state funeral. Initially I was against it because she was such a blight on the country. Then I thought about it:

She hated the state having its fingers in anything, so she'd hate the concept of a funeral paid for by the state. Ding- We just pissed her off.

Secondly, if we have a state funeral we can have a dance floor installed above it so all us people her short-sighted schemes fucked can go and dance on her grave

[kayman92]

@FerretBob I wanted to give her state funeral years ago >:(

[98smithg]

DONT blame thatcher for the destruction of sociaty, that was new labours social engineering and PC meddeling.

[RedFlowerDarkHair]

why did thatcher fuck the kids. im not british.

[SherrifSkullface]

bloody tory scum, it's sad that they're likely to win the election

[1Swordy1]

I may have dementia but at least I've got Dennis...

Dennis ?

DENNIS ?

[PeteJones100]

I believe most of the Tory MPs do indeed suck dick (privately, of course)

Either that or theyre off somewhere having an asphixy-w*nk

[spirrettforhead]

You could argue all day what Thatcher did wrong or right, she's not exactly Hitler but she sold out our industry and the workers for money. She was a war monger and is a massive cause of the economic problem today for Britain.

[98smithg]

@spirrettforhead war monger? WAR MONGER as least she bloody won the wars she got us into, how many people have died in iraq now? a lot more than fawklands et al thats what.

[weecoby3]

@98smithg Think about what you posted there mate ....I mean, reeeeaally think about it . Get back to me when you realise your foolishness ....

[spuddastud]

@98smithg

She never beat the Irish.

[98smithg]

@spuddastud The irish never beat her, 3 assasination attempts and yet she still walks.

[sinaesthetik]

@katsas yet documents have emerged recently that show that during formation of policies before they got out to the public, she actually did turn quite a bit. How naive of you to believe her PR cachphrase posturing.

[weecoby3]

@ katsas. As a 44 year old Ayrshireman who, in his youth, watched Thatcher and her government decimate the working men and women of my country, I feel I have right to say that you have no fucking idea what you are talking about. I, personally, have a bottle of champagne and big 'ol cigar sitting ready for the day THAT woman finally departs. I'm sure millions will join me.

[cmomofilm]

@weecoby3 Well fucking said! As Frankie Boyle said "When she dies, if you hand her body over to Scotland we'll dig a hole so deep we could hand her over to Satan ourselves".

[barlowaphex]

music is about expression, big up frank turner massive! or is that too lower class language for u too understand????

[barlowaphex]

to me you sound like u got nothing better to do than shit on the views of others because u think your better than you actually are, got a problem with my view? go suck thatchers dick! all due respect thatcher tried but failed like many previous politicians, dont get me wrong there will be many more

[barlowaphex]

you sound like your living the rich/stuck up persons' dream now studying at oxford maybe, parents pay for everything 4 u and all, maybe your only commenting on this to get extra points on some essay your writing atm

[barlowaphex]

honestly katsas get a fucking life stop living up to the forgotten dreams of thatcher, look at the state of the common people's life today, not impressive really isit?!

[BlackpoolBhoy]

Not long now..

Margaret Thatcher- Died 2010 --- Hopefully!!

[katsas]

So please don't exhibit your ignorance/steadfast and narrow-minded anti-Tory stance (because if the parties can now waver untethered across left and right of centre, it is silly not to reanalyse one's affiliation!) by the demonisation of one woman. You may not like Maggie but to call any politician short of Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin etc (I'm talking mass-murderers here) Satan, you obviously have serious issues with perspective.

[chrissycroken]

your probably older than me and yet still i have a brief idea of what shes done !! you must not get out much :)

[katsas]

Harriet Harman et al are mocked for their frumpiness; Margaret's power was so authoritative and commanding that no one dared to make such claims agains her. Indeed, in our climate of fickle politicians (Blair, Cameron...neither as hopeless as Brown but both rather vapid) how refreshing is it to hear "U turn if you want to - the lady's not for turning."

[katsas]

My goodness. The comments on this video are rather ignorant and indicative of a lazy tendency to blame the ills of government in general and the difficult realities of emerging from a recession on one figure. As a woman, I think Margaret should be respected despite her controversial policies, as our first and only female Prime Minister, who has not yet been matched among female politicians - a tragedy I feel.

[ExUSSailor]

I've heard him call himself a folk singer, and even a country singer, but, he's still punk rock! Punk IS NOT a style of music, it's a lifestyle, and attitude. Frank Turner is more punk rock than any fuckin' band that calls themselves "punk", and has a video on friggin' MTV.

[jammydodger1313]

Frank turner is the man! We met him in Belfast outside where he was playing his show and he gave us ciggerettes! haha

[AKEZTRIXER]

He might be from a posh area but that doesn't mean he is posh does it? Not everyone living there is going to be a rich corrupt politician :P

[ata1811]

Hey Frank, you got that one right!

[zabman23]

GREAT! Thatcher was just a puppet, but yeah GREAT SONG. and you say you're a folk singer, but i think you're bringing back punk man! :P

[UTubeMinority]

he's a punk-folk dude! ;D

[MrCinealta]

Many of the problems we face today are a direct result of Thatcher.

[unknownorigin84]

Fucking great!

[everydayarson]

I met Thatcher when i was 5, i had no idea who she was, all i knew was she was a famous politician who donated money to the care home my grandma worked at.

Now i look back on it, i realised i've seen Satan.

[kayman92]

@everydayarson You have surely looked into the eyes of hell!

[Amankila1]

@everydayarson did you hear the one about thatcher visiting an ol d peoples home, (not sure if its true or a joke but here goes) she is and old peoples home and huaghtily asks an old lady "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM"!!!???? to which the old dear replies. "no but if you have forgotten they can tell you at the front desk

[Sbecspeledrx]

@everydayarson should have chinned her

[aidanhalleyah]

yea i dont like Margaret Thatcher' either

[pastie66]

tells it like it is.

[QwertyIsMyHomie]

I love this song. Thatcher really did fuck the kids. I have to applaude Frank.

I love this line:

'This is a song about how much I fucking love Margaret Thatcher'

You're awesome, Frank.

[statt27]

Love this song :)

[capitalistdownfall]

Cracking song, and a message that has been troubling me for some time (as my username may suggest ^_^)

[lfctwentytwo]

haha one of frank's best :D

[MrCrazycasey]

Thank God 4 Frank Turner

[Eth1csgradient]

Capitalising Every Word Is Not A Way To Make Me Read YouR Comment.

But seriously its very annoying. Dont do it. Also - good song :-)

[pigmypuff15]

hahhahaaa i love how he's just blates having a rant :) going to see him live in october and can't WAIT! x

[publicz]

Totally awesome, 5 stars, and added to favs.

[RabiouxPaul]

this is To,  HotStuff543

Thanks :) Yes I am saying cunt is a word for people who don't get laid much. I wouldn't fuck someone that used that word. xx But i wouldnt fuck anyone with a name like "HotStuff543"... :D love you all :D

[HotStuff543]

ooooh thanks good to know.. 'RabiouxPaul' WHO ARE YOU? and are you a rabbi? idot.

[RabiouxPaul]

No, Not a Rabbi. Just someone who thinks if you take the piss out of someone for using a word in the english Language, which in reality isnt that bad a word. no more offencive than frizzbee, its the context in which its used, who thinks you shoulld get the piss taken from them for having such a Big headed name... when your probably not that attractive.

[HotStuff543]

The song, its a song m'dear... me and my friends have a little private joke about it thats the only connection, haha not that you will ever know what i look like. Also, 'cunt' is a disgusting word and if you ever want a girl to think you not a total jerk i wouldnt use it.

[mossydie]

You think anyone is a total jerk if they use the word 'cunt' eh? Why? Every word has a context in which it is perfectly acceptable and judging a language on such a black and white scale seems ridiculous.

[EvzaP]

love him soo much ^^

the intro made me laugh x

[Zorg2006]

Great song.

[LOLZOK]

looove you frank turner!

[pkdubzTV]

love song but im with earthgaming thachter was amazing fuck you margatret haters

[Rakeatthegatesofhell]

You had Thatcher; we had Reagan. We're still not recovered from a quarter-century of Neoconservatism. Long live the left!!

[AlexSimmonite]

are you serious? she is evil incarnate. The fucking bitch will burn in hell for what she did to the uk

[EarthGAMING]

errrm maybe because u or your dad is a fucking waster of society and he was fucked before she sorted him or you out...yeh cunt

[redjacketindiehat]

did you attend the school of " how to be the dumbest person in the known universe"

[nf00523]

you were obviously one of the lucky ones who she didn't "sort out" or whatever that means. she lacked any compassion for people she was meant to represent. she told us there's no such thing as society, which is what frank's getting at-little community spirit these days, its all about self-promotion+self-interests,­which thatcher championed. so its no surprise when "wasters of society" have a bad attitude, as the govt only looks after the interests of the elite, who in turn don't help anyone else.

[redjacketindiehat]

i cant even remember what i said to you?

who are you?

thatchers a bitch. you should start a career in replying to comments on youtube, you'll go very far.

[nf00523]

sorry must have replied to the wrong comment. no offence meant.

[Eth1csgradient]

She did fuck the kids. Just the start - she deregulated school meals so their nutiritional content was shite. She also stopped free milk for the primary school kids.

This is just one of the ways she fucked the kids.

[allyru]

i love cock so much

[mitremember]

SAME!

[songofsouls]

Love Frank Turner so much~!

[HotStuff543]

I love Margret.

x

[mattyboymurphy]

cos ur a cunt

[HotStuff543]

Ihate that word sounds like you dont get out much, or get much ethier.

[mattyboymurphy]

so you're saying, people who type cunt into a computer dont get out or get laid much. I dont see how you've made that connection hotstuff543. nice name btw, it makes people think you're attractive

[HotStuff543]

Thanks :) Yes I am saying cunt is a word for people who don't get laid much. I wouldn't fuck someone that used that word. xx

[jjdecani]

You tedious cunt.

[Pookie4795]

its as though he was trying to be like mock the week funny

stick to folk singing

[PresidentOfInternet]

Frank Turner fucked the kids and his fans

[itsnoobworld]

LABOUR FUCKED THE KIDS!
