We STILL Fuckin' Hate Thatcher!

Oh how joyous it was to hear news last week that the old bag was taken ill. Sadly, she seems to have recovered, but it can't be too long now surely? Apparently, she also has problems with her memory these days. Well, rest assured, I will NEVER forget what this hag did to me and my class. Unfortunately amnesia isn't terminal, but I hope that she hurries up and dies in a suitably painful and lingering (but not too long) fashion.
In anticipation of that glorious day to come, here's an episode of Radio 4's 'In Living Memory' about a glorious day that's already been - The Poll Tax riot in London on March 31st 1990. It includes interviews with people from both sides who were in the thick of it, as well as some of the politics underlying the whole struggle. Ian Bone (founder of street-fighting anarchist group Class War) recounts his memories of the battle, and a few old punks I know also get to say a word or ten about their take on events.
Up the proles!

Wish I'd been old enough to take part in the Poll Tax riots. Wasn't even 2 then but it still doesn't stop me from fucking hating Thatcher. Working class pride isn't as rare as people think in my generation, we all have it, it just takes something to bring it out and it's not the fucking BNP. Fuck Thatcher and fuck the Fash!

Thanks for the comment Woody, and thanks for warming the cockles of my sometimes cynical heart with your youthful fighting spirit! And don't worry about having missed out on the Poll Tax - I'm sure you'll get your chance too

Fuck the state funeral. Put a dancefloor on the old cow's grave. Dancing shoes polished and at the ready!

The word hate does not even begin to express what I feel about that evil old bag. She just turns my stomach, every time her ugly mug and grating voice came on the telly I had to swear and change channels.
She fucked the country up big time and I hated everything she stood for. I was a teenager in the 70s, before she got her grubby hands on it and it was ace, the best ever time to be growing up
Even better idea than a dancefloor on the bag's grave, how about a giant toilet so we can all shit on her, like she did to all of us.
