Room 101 Mark Steel (5/5): Politicians claiming they like popular music

[MegaBanjaluka]

My last Christmas present received???? A life size model of Thatcher and a baseball bat. A truly awful human being!!! Love Pete Jones 100 post!!!

[MrGurlyboy]

I think the first two politicians, Michael Ancram and David Davis were telling the truth about the last CD they bought.

[bensimps123]

people tthink there being radical hating thatcher ...its so common and boring.GET OVER HER

[xraycortina]

It was quite cool to hate Thatcher in the 80s. But she did some good things. And whatever she did that was bad was nothing near that catastrophic f**k-up that bLIAR caused.

[jumpnjza2]

Maggie Thatcher was quite fit & rootable when she was young.

[bapyou]

2:49 - "[Thatcher's] dead!"

LOL . . . Epic!

[Substantive64]

Shoulda seen Courtney Love telling off Al Gore when he said he was "a fan" of her music. A Leftist telling off a Leftist!!!!

[williamwilson666]

@Substantive64 "Leftist" Al Gore? Is there another Al Gore we don't know about?

[Spoonfoon]

If there's anyone who understands heartache, it's fucking Thatcher...

[somerandomer]

@TheInquiringOne it's definitely Liam. he even says 'i thought I might go have a look around like what Noel did'

[mazey90]

@TheInquiringOne no, its definitely Liam

[mazey90]

"looks like a shit house anyway"

haha liam gallagher is a legend!

[MrGlasshouse1976]

I believe that Sir Reginald Tweedy-Duffer would agree

[bikerboygeoff]

Quite right what Steel is saying. Now Cameron claims to be a fan of the Smiths and the Stone Roses. Whats next Boris Johnson claiming to be a fan of Rage Against The Machine?

[ELREndLondonRule]

@bikerboygeoff to be fair, Boris Johnson probably loves RATM. He's too polite to admit it, though.

[chazmeistro]

@owenhunt I'd say Bush did a good job of marginalising his people... if they were Black, or in the immigrant community.

[chinshuwandee]

hopelessly passive and compatible.

[bareakon]

i need an mp3 of that bit at the end

[artistanbul]

thatcher to britain is like bush-es for us

and they were all hated not only nation-wise but by all people of the world.

[owenhunt]

@artistanbul Bush was a worse international figure and Thatcher marginalised her people more. Not exactly rhat comparable I'm afraid.

[dunkski1]

..... it'll be the first time the 21 gun salute fires into the coffin...to make sure she's dead....

[jumpnjza2]

I love it when Brits talk shit about Thatcher.

[PeteJones100]

@jumpnjza2 well its not like the evil bitch doesnt deserve it. When she finally dies she will be buried at the bottom of a man-made lake... or at least she will be once were all done pissing on her grave!

[s3077769]

@PeteJones100 very funny

[Mogthrasir]

@PeteJones100 Who was it that originally made that joke? I can't for the life of me remember, but I'm thinking Frankie Boyle...?

[omc03]

@Mogthrasir Yeah it was. On mock the week

[MrMogwali1]

@jumpnjza2

Yes of course we only had to put up with her on a daily basis for 11 years as PM....
