From The Daily Telegraph
Thirty years ago on May 3 1979, Margaret Thatcher became UK Prime Minister.
Here various, colleagues, friends, foes reminisce about The Iron Lady.
Never Adam’s favourite politician, but hate her or love her, you knew what she stood for. The archetypal conviction politician which convictions, so much her strength in the beginning, ultimately paved the way for her downfall.

Being British, I love ‘Wallflower’ by MC Frontalot with the lyrics “I’ve got a new dance called The Margaret Thatcher.
It’ll get in your pants, you’d better call the dispatcher.
and don’t do anything I wouldn’t condone
except a dance named after a villainous crone.”
Songs featuring Margaret Thatcher continue to be produced, such as The Magggie Thatcher Experience (http://www.maggiethatcher.com/video.html )with Thatcher’s Death Anthem and ‘The Lady’s not for Burning’ (http://www.maggiethatcher.com/buymusic.html) who are trying to Flash Mob Thatcher’s Death by using social networking sites such as Facebook.(http://www.flashmobdeath.tk) They are a one piece spoof band from Sheffield, Yorkshire who make use of Flash Games related to the iron lady or the Miners Strike to gain popularity. (http://www.milksnatcher.com )They are not the only ones, however. Chumbawamba also have an E.P out called ‘in Memorium’ which will be sent out to everyone who orders one the day Thatcher dies. The genre ‘Geek or Nerd Hip Hop’ have also produced songs featuring Thatcher such as MC Frontalot with the lyrics “I’ve got a new dance called The Margaret Thatcher.
It’ll get in your pants, you’d better call the dispatcher.
and don’t do anything I wouldn’t condone
except a dance named after a villainous crone.”
