arista you are missing the point. Not only is it not the BBC's place to take a stance on this issue, it is also certainly not their place to refuse to play a song that has been bought by people who are anti-Thatcher but will play a song that has been bought as a rival campaign by people who are pro-Thatcher (even if they've missed the sarcasm pouring from the song). That is them taking a side on a political issue, and as the BBC is a publicly funded institution which is supposed to remain neutral on all matters, they have gone against their entire objective.
