drive-by planet: Iron Lady? Rust in peace: Thatcher was a disaster for the UK
Following the death of former British PM, Margaret Thatcher, more than a few people in the UK took it to the streets. Champagne bottles popped and smiles lit up the faces of street revelers ecstatic to see the last of Thatcher. A lively street party took place in Brixton where

It’s currently behind something called “Need U (100%)” by Duke Dumont and A*M*E at No. 1 and P!nk feat. Nate Ruess’ “Just Give Me A Reason” at No. 2. But “Ding Dong, the Witch is Dead” from The Wizard of Oz, is currently selling 2,000 copies a day online in

I wasn't planning to write another post about the late Margaret Thatcher.But now that I see that the Cons in Britain are planning to give her a lavish funeral. Even though most Britons are outraged.Crippled by savage Tory cuts, ordinary Brits are furious at forking out £10million for the funeral

Brian Mulroney is going to be part of Canada’s official gaggle of groupies at Maggie Thatcher’s Bukkake party on April 17, 2013 in London, England. Yes, that Mulroney; the disgraced former prime minister who took bribes, defrauded Canadians of millions of dollars, cheated on his taxes and resigned under a

… Something about my post yesterday about ex PM Thatcher’s death… I admired her as a leader of conviction, as a woman who was a trailblazer for female politicians everywhere, and as a savvy politician. I would say the first and last points about some other conservative pols, as well…

This time I waited until I was sure she was dead before I started celebrating eh?For I'll never forget the last time Margaret Thatcher's death was announced. And I was halfway through a bottle of cheap wine, until I realized it was only John Baird's pussy who had passed.But now ding dong she's really

Alright, this is my last anti-Thatcher post of the night. Whew, there sure are a lot of anti-Thatcher songs and videos out there, and I have only posted a fraction of them. This song isn’t subtle at all. It gets straight to the point. It’s “Maggie” by the Edinburgh, Scotland

This song against the recently deceased former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher is “Oxford Lady” by the Manchester-based post-punk/New Wave band The Brigade. Lyrically, it’s a bit more subtle than most of the anti-Thatcher songs I posted, but that just means you have to listen a bit more closely. As

Here’s another non-music video about the horrid Margaret Thatcher. It’s a comedy sketch from the satirical puppet show Spitting Image. The premise is that Adolf Hitler didn’t really die at the end of World War II, and instead became Thatcher’s next door neighbour. Enjoy.

This anti-Thatcher song is “We Rule OK” by the working-class Oi! band The Last Resort. Some right-wingers try to claim this band as one of their own, but that is not accurate. The Last Resort are patriotic and pro-working class, not Conservatives or fascists. Here are the lyrics. We Rule

http://www.reverbnation.com/attilathestockbroker/song/10941659-maggots-1-maggie-0-band-version: With this anti-Thatcher song, I was unable to find a video that played properly on my computer. I couldn’t resist posting a link to the audio file, because it’s my favourite song about Margaret Thatcher. After you click on the link, you’ll have to press “play” at the bottom

Faces of Evil This one isn’t a music video; it is chilling old footage of Margaret Thatcher having afternoon tea with her close personal friend and political ally Augusto Pinochet, the murderous quasi-fascist dictator of Chile who overthrew a democratically elected government in a bloody coup. Thatcher was an evil,

My online anti-Thatcher celebration continues with a dancehall reggae number by Macka B called “Get Rid of Maggie”. Love her or hate her, one must agree that Baroness Thatcher was a horrible person who caused a lot of harm to the world. Her policies damaged her country and ruined many

Thatcher, out. A few decades too late, but better late than never. This music video is a catchy ditty by the South London punk/soul band The Larks. The song is “Maggie Maggie Maggie (Out Out Out)”.

In grade 9 or 10 French class, we had an assignment to write a page of text in French and accompany it with some graphics. I chose to write about the French Revolution, and for the picture, I cut out magazine photos of Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan and Brian Mulroney

What a wonderful day! Maggie Fucking Thatcher is finally dead, dead dead! I heard the news while getting ready for work this morning, and I was in a good mood all day! I have bookmarked a bunch of anti-Thatcher videos just for this occasion. I will start off with the

It is not my style to speak ill of dead. However, I think Margaret Thatcher was a twin of Ronald Reagan. They both put their countries on the path of neo-conservatism from which these countries have not recovered yet. It is worth noting, Thatcher gave her full-hearted supported to Chile’s

… if nothing else. And she helped to pave the way for other women who wanted to pursue politics as a vocation. She will be remembered fondly by her allies and not so much by her enemies. But she will always be remembered by history and by the British people.

OK, the National Post got a little overheated with this election-day photo of Wildrose Leader Danielle Smith. But, really, what’s the difference? Below: Premier Ernest Manning and Premier Alison Redford, bookends in Alberta’s endless conservative governing dynasty. In April 2012, spooked by the dangers posed by a far-right Wildrose government,
