Excellent song, excellent video. I try not to hate people but I have champagne laid aside for when Thatcher dies...

She'll be dead soon and the whole of the North of England will have street parties

@sacrilige lol mislead? have you ever even listened to Fidel's words? Fidel removed an unpopular dictator who the US kept in power because he was friendly to US businesses instead of protecting the Cuban people. After the rev in Cuba, Cuba according to the UN has the highest literacy rate on the planet. Also has the most doctors per capita. Cuban doctors even go abroad to warzones to treat people. Whenever I argue with a capitalist either here or in the real world I see weak arguments.

@dannyzee4 Well, I would address your socialism vs capitalism issue but noticed on your page you have speaches from fidel castro so you're obviously very mislead or worse. Peace!

@sacrilige I am in the US and very well know Capitalism is not superior to socialism. The richest are only out for their own profit, which means dropping wages for the masses and cutting as many corners as possible.

@ash231266 Socialists feel Capitalism is uncaring and unfeeling because the focus is more on prosperity rather than equality. I am in the US and know very well that capitalism is superior to socialism however capitalism is definitely not a perfect utopia either. I'll concede there were definitely areas where her policies could have been done better because too many people have the impression of her you expressed. I was glad she later conceded that herself in her book Downing Street Years.

@sacrilige it's all well and good going on about what she did for the economy - unfortunately she was an emotionally dead psychopath who hated people and destroyed numerous lives...you obviously disagree but in my book people are more important than money...if she'd directly hurt you like she did many others you might have more compassion and understanding...

@saulmcintyre

The Midlands will be right behind you. We used to make stuff around here.
