Loathe her or loathe her, it is a day to rejoice.
She has gone at last.
From 1979 to 1992 she ruined this country, she ruined its communities, and she destroyed lives without a care or backward glance. She made millions of lives a misery and acted with out a shred of compassion or care for decent working people.
Happy days.

It is Easter. I’m using it as an excuse to give you an entirely contrived and slightly spurious soundtrack for that Egg hunt. On the other hand, some cracking tunes to add to your iTunes library.
So Barry-Sean was in his parents attic over Christmas sorting some stuff out and discovered some old mixtapes that we used to listen to a lot – this was one from 1987 that B-S has modernised into a digital playlist on his iTunes.
Anyway, we thought you might like to hear a few….try the perfect two-minute indie jangle of Mighty Mighty, or the heavier indie wallop of the Mighty Lemon Drops, Andy White’s catchier than hell forgotten folk classic Reality Row, the Faith Brothers bitterly poignant anti-Falklands lament and equalling them in the protest stakes were The Redskins and their soul-punk hybrid The Power Is Yours. Finally we have the brilliant rockabilly infused stomp of the criminally underrated The Screaming Blue Messiahs from their wonderful debut EP, and the uncompromising punk of North-East stalwarts the Angelic Upstarts.
