From Pink Floyd to the English Beat and beyond, they were united in their distaste for Mrs. Thatcher.

bwahahaha!  21 anti-Thatcher songs and only one is by Billy Bragg -- I think he wrote over 21 Maggie-dissing tunes all by himself.

I was glad to see the list included both Elvis Costello's Tramp The Dirt Down and Stand Down Margaret by the English Beat (which Elvis used to cover quite frequently in his live shows in the mid-80s).
