Kid in the Riot Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 No. 10 in the midweek chart. Apparently radio stations will decide later in the week whether or not to play it as obviously the likes of Radio 1 run down the chart Sunday eve Would also be the shortest record ever to get to no. 1 at 51 seconds long...

WTFiGO!?! Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Just for you Gobbers: What did Savile and Thatcher have in common? They both ****** minors. Downloaded the Wicked Witch is Dead in the same way I signed the petition to have Ian Duncan Smith living on £53 a week. This is my vote though: politicians teabag each other regularly.

herman Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 It is now Number 5. Massive debate whether the BBC should play it on the chart show. how is that a debate. the BBC has no right to censor the truth. just man up, forget the PC bullshit, stop makign stories out of nothing, and play the ******* record. once done, move on, get over it and stop wasting everyones time talking about it as if anyone actually gives a shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrs Court Red Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Speaking to Sky News, the Sun's political editor, Tom Newton Dunn, said the BBC was "in a very difficult position". He said: "It's an incredibly hard decision to make. They have to balance freedom of expression, the right to protest - albeit it very rudely - on one side, and also people's right not to be offended when listening to a simple chart show. "It's a hugely offensive song and it's offensive that people are buying it - it's childish, but they also have a right to do that and say that. How anyone can from the Sun can decide what is offensive is beyond me. And to lable something childish, well that just tops it off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Mosquito Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 I agree. We're not living in North Korea, I thought this country had Free Speech? Or did that die with the Baroness? Interestingly, the 74-year-old song could reach the No. 1 slot by Sunday. If the BBC only then play part of the song - or none of it at all - it will mean that Britain has reverted to the pre 60s era when it was considered wrong to criticize anyone in the establishment.

I have just read that the Fox organisation owns the rights to this song, not sure if true, but if it is all of the sad pathetic people who have paid their 79p's to purchase this track are actually earning more profit from another hate figure and huge Thatcher fan Rupert Murdoch, you could not make this up, might as well have bought the sun.

I'd see it as having to pay a financial price to have a voice heard. Not many campaigns or advertisements are cost free. This is going to pi$$ off the establishment far more than lining Murdoch's pockets with a load of 79 pences is going to satisfy him so it's a case of job done.

Yep, in a way I hope it is totally true just to show how sad these parties, mainly for people not even born at the time actually are. it would make up for the shit weather.

Can't agree if true and i'm not sure it is, a lot of so called principled people will be feeling quite dirty about their purchase and of course uncle Bob might have actually planned that, the establishment will be fawning over this, it gives them more to criticise.

Mr Popodopolous Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Hard one. Given the media is dominated by eulogies etc if it reaches high enough in the charts free speech says maybe it should be played in full. Depends how strong respect for the dead is I guess- in short down to the individual, as per her philosophy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marshy Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 I read today that Romany Blythe, creator of the the Facebook campaign to celebrate the passing of Margaret Thatcher, purchased her Islington flat from the Council under Thatcher's 'Right to Buy' scheme for £141 000 and sold it four years later for £298 000 thus making a profit of £157 000. If she had sold within three years then some of the profit would have had to have been returned to the Council. Get this: she is 'angry' that the Council did not spend her £141 000 on building new homes. Well, Romany, if you are so concerned why not donate your profit towards the building of new homes? It might buy you a place in your little Socialist heaven. Or, alternatively, bank the profits and move on up the ladder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it matter where this story emanated from as long as it is true? and if it is she is yet another 'socialist' hypocrite to join the long queue, together with her free NHS tits and of course not just any old tits but a set of porno star type bangers. Even her family aren't that happy with her. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/margaret-thatcher/9987496/Family-round-on-protester-Romany-Blythe.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
