Somewhat more radical stance......

Let Glenda Jackson have the first word

CHUMBAWAMBA
In Memoriam: Margaret Thatcher

The CD was mailed out April 8 to all who had pre-ordered the disc in 2005. 

Back in 2005, anarchist collective Chumbawamba pre-sold an EP called In Memoriam - Margaret Thatcher which they would keep under wraps until the prime minister passed away. Since Thatcher did pass earlier this week, the band has delivered the EP and is also streaming the release online. Along with that, the band delivered a eulogy:

“Let’s make it clear: This is a cause to celebrate, to party, to stamp the dirt down. Tomorrow we can carry on shouting and writing and working and singing and striking against the successive governments that have so clearly followed Thatcher’s Slash & Burn policies, none more so than the present lot. But for now, we can have a drink and a dance and propose a toast to the demise of someone who blighted so many people’s lives for so long. If we must show a little reverence and decorum at this time, then so be it. Our deepest sympathies go out to the families of all Margaret Thatcher’s victims.”
