..I agree Ninastar and I think that whether people think it is disgraceful or justifed, as Dezzy said..it certainly has no class and only serves to hurt her family, who are actually grieving... no matter what the nation's views are..

..the reality of it is that the person this is all aimed at will never be effected by it as the lyrics 'wake up Maggie, I think I've got something to say to you..' will just not happen but her family and children especially, cannot help but be hurt by this sort of thing....

This, spot on

The lady is dead for god sake, people need to show some respect for someone who was willing to spearhead this country through the toughest depression the country had seen at the time -- when no one else was willing to. She had balls, determination and wasn't afraid to make the tough decisions, something which this country is severely lacking now with the likes of Cameron and his pet monkey.

Rest in peace Margaret, rest assured, there are some level people in the world that actually do appreciate the work you did for us.

Spot on. People can be so stupid.

Didn't have you down as a closet Tory boy Sawyer.

Those condemning this, however petty it may be, clearly have no real knowledge of the actual legacy of that vile fascist's reign, she knowingly and systematically destroyed the North of England and South Wales to score party political points, she caused the new bedroom tax by selling off our council houses with no intention to replace them, she dismantled our countries industries and created today's huge gap between the poor and the wealthy, she introduced homophobic law and she spoke out against feminism, she ordered the killing of 300 innocent Argentinians and she actively supported racial apartheid in South Africa. My condolences to her family (except her convict son and racist daughter), but as for Thatcher herself, good riddance.

on what grounds do you draw that assumption? Are only supporters of Thatcher allowed to protest to the charts on grounds of dignity now?

Her children aren't going to be listening to the chart show on Sunday with their fingers crossed as the countdown to number one takes place, regardless of what people think. Grief is a private emotion that we all need to confront and deal with in our own way. When loss has hit me, I wouldn't be able to tell you what is on TV or radio, and I highly doubt her children will either.

She was such a divisive figure, and remains the figurehead for mountains of unnecessary suffering in this country, where families were forced into conflict with each other, communities devastated, and parts of the country were left to rot.

It's quite right that people are allowed to celebrate her death. To many, she wasn't a prime minister in the true sense of the word, she was responsible for launching attacks on her own people, yet all of us westerners love it when middle-eastern despots get taken out by their people.

I hate displays of Diana faux grief, but I won't be purchasing the song. Will the world miss her? Absolutely not, if anything, her memory will hopefully awaken the political slumber in lots of people as we allow another batch of right-wing social engineering to take place in our own generation.

Thatcher used her freedom of speech to crush her opponents in life, let the people she bullied return that compliment in her death, and the fact she's not around to see it is neither here nor there. She knew full well how people felt about her.

So what if a few protesters smash up a couple of shops? That was just a regular night out for the Bullingdon club, and they now run the country. When people appealed to her in life to show a sense of decency, she ignored their pleas.

To phrase what I meant better, those condemning those behind this. I don't disagree that it's distasteful, but when millions of people have seen whole generations of their family made jobless and die penniless by her, when people have seen their towns go from prosperous industrial hubs to derelict congregations of sink estates in less than a decade, purely to get one over on the trade unions, it's *incredibly* hard for them to feel sympathy for the woman who showed no sympathy at all for them and not, however undignified it may be, revel in her own misfortune. This woman who made the poor impoverished (the South Wales valleys never recovered from her and probably never will, knowing what just 35 years ago it was like up there then seeing it now, it's truly depressing) died in the Ritz hotel for god's sake.

This is a disgusting campaign and places a really distasteful vibe on a such a classic song.

It's being counted, whether or not it'll played is another (interesting) matter.

Better to Protest with a Song

Agreed

Was a disgraceful campaign, She was such a compassionate leader of the people, that I'm shocked everyone isn't wearing black arm bands, and gathering together like princess Diana all over again.

People will never forget the way she destroyed communities, and whilst I won't be joining in celebrations, or purchasing this song, I understand why people will be.

My mothers family suffered through her reign, in Liverpool. The conservative party at that time were trying to implement a policy of managed decline. Imagine how extreme that sounds today - basically letting one of the big cities in the UK just turn to sh*t.

It's not a sad day, and it doesn't matter that she has children/grandchildren who can be upset. She is afforded the same respect that she bestowed upon the people.

a grudge gets heavier the longer you carry it!
its funny how this issue unites members on here in agreement
that for most of the time are in disagreement.

It doesn't really unify people though. As sentient beings we're capable of having different opinions on different subjects.

It's not about a grudge, it was about the attacks on her own people that she propagated, both through financial means and the police force as her own personal army.

A despicable woman with no redeemable qualities.
