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

@jonchapple

You are an absolute ignorant fucker.

Anyone else agree with me?

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

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

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

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

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

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]

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

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...
