Ding Dong the Witch is Dead, a song from the Wizard of Oz, has sold 20,000 copies this week after anti-Thatcher campaigners encouraged people to buy it to celebrate the death of the former Prime Minister. It is currently number four and on course for a place in the top five by the time The Official Chart Show airs on Sunday, three days before Lady Thatcher’s funeral.

This is what happens in any country that fails to perform the requisite blood purges after something like WWII
As long as we keep allowing, nay supporting, these societal leeches we are doomed to eventual failure. Nature (G-d) understood this; the culling of the herd is an integral part of survival.
And when a leftist rejoices over the death of a normal person it’s OK?
Bastards.
British math?
BBC can’t win on this one. It would be broadcast on a regular weekly show when all that week’s top 10 sales are played. Omit it, and it’s censorship. Play it, and there’s outrage. Screwed either way. That’s the sort of dilemma Tony Hall (a very good man, by the way) is paid his 450k to sort. Perhaps the DJ could accidentally play another track from ‘The Wizard of Oz’ instead?
Well why should he ban it, either we believe in free speech or we don’t. People have the right to demonize their leaders. This is not China.
No, the BBC is a gub’mnt agency ~ the black jackbooted thugs themselves.
and? your point?
Governments don’t have free speech.
Thanks for reminding everyone. The anti-Thatcher scum do have their free speech rights, just as we have a right to identify them as scum.
“Governments don’t have free speech.” what planet are you on? What dimension does it seem like to you? What color is the sky where you are?
End of story.
you don’t have the slightest idea what the BBC is about ~ it is a public censor.
I don’t have to know what the “BBC is about” to recognize a call for censorship when I see it. If they are doing it, then it should be condemned regardless of which side they take.
First off, the gub’mnt shouldn’t be in the BBC business. Relative degrees of censorship are still censorship and not free speech.
But that isn't the issue and is purely tangential.
There go those ‘tanned genitals’ again ~ they just keep popping up in all sorts of conversations!
It's like Lord Haw Haw took over.
