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.

This. Think it's disgusting.

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

It's in the midweek charts at #10 so I assume it will be.

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

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.

..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....

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.

What did she seriously think was going to happen when she stuck to policies that knowingly would decimate entire communities? Then used the police force to enforce it for her. Dark days.

Does sheriff agree that Nelson Mandela was a "grubby little terrorist"?

Hey Ben do you support her attempt to buy an island in Indonesia to send "the boat people" to to stop the foreigners burdening the UK ?

If i have no class for hating the racist cow then so be it. Im not the one that is defending someone that wanted the same things as the national front.

I wouldnt buy a song anyway music is free.

That's a bit misleading, Thatcher's stance on SA was very controversial because she preferred to engage with the regime instead of imposing sanctions that would have hit the wrong people, but a lot of people credit her with having done more to end apartheid and free Mandela than some of the regime's more obvious, militant critics

Well done on quoting a deleted post that i couldnt be arsed arguing about. So you must have been gutted about the "grubby little terrorist" proving the slut wrong and winning his campaign for racial equality in south Africa.

He only killed between 3-6 million bless his little cotton socks.

Well obviously I hadn't realised you'd deleted it when I quoted it, it was there for quite a while

OK no worries

[Vicky.]

Acccording to someone on my FB, this is currently #1 on the itunes chart.

[Jack_]

^ Indeed it is

[Beastie]

I think the song should be played. Let the bandwagon of Thatcher haters have their way. This will only brush over by next week until the next big/"controversial" thing comes along and this will be forgotten about. Who cares. I don't think Thatcher will care because she is dead. It says a lot more about people who use so much hate and hold a grudge rather than being the opposite and showing some love and moving on. If people used their emotions towards love than hate more often then the world would be a better place.

[arista]

But does the bloated BBC have the balls
to play it on the Sunday Chart show.

So far the bbc has said they do not know - fecking typical

[Jake.]

Still think that this is completely disgusting imo
