If you have sky (369) or freesat (515) the vintage tv are well worth a look

Just a promo clip as they do not stream

This song is dedicated to MD who didn't want to say much in her post and it is very extreme indeed do not play if you are a conservative or easily offended it comes from the punk era and calls Margaret Thatcher however I think the song was a true reflection of the times as there where a lot of angry people during here time as prime minister

Warning throughout the lyrics it has explicit language which is c-nt

only play if you are curious and not easily offended!!

Goodness, cannot accuse that of being too subtle.

What a contrast to the real hardcore I was just looking up

It is a bit OT isn't it

however it was the type of thing that youngsters including me where listening to in the thatcher era and also heard via punk rock concerts

the more shocking and extreme the records where the more they struck a chord with the younger generation who where disenfranchised with society in the thatcher era

When she came to power I was in a fairly rural area at the time and most of the damage was seen on tv rather than experienced first hand.

Lucky you!

Lower class major towns and cities where the first to experience social deprivation and where at the forefront of Thatchers council cutting policies which robbed the poor to give back to the rich in tax cuts

they are still suffering from the deprivation to this day and have never really recovered

if you don't believe me then go and visit some of the lawless lower class socially deprived towns and cities that still exist and have got worse since the Thatcher era

I think I was taking home about £23 a week back then so there was no spending money to go visit a big town or city. I don't disbelieve you, saw more than enough in her final years of power.
