Songs about Maggie Thatcher

[No pasarán]

Well she was the terror of the working class of England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland during her reign of terror. She palled up with fascists and sold her country down the line to capitalists. Now the Iron Lady has gone a bit rusty (probably since she keeps pissing herself) shes since went senile.

There are so many great songs about her too.. I'll start us off with one...

"The Post War Dream", by Pink Floyd, from the album The Final Cut:

I used to think that song was about Thatcher too but it turns out that it's a Bob Dylan song that dates back to 1965.
