Campaign to get Ding Dong the Witch is Dead to Number One

[backson]

Does no-one remember from the film, just as the song is finishing ANOTHER witch, far worse than the first one turns up?

This will only end badly

Who could have predicted that the mere mention of education would turn this thread into a grammar and spelling thread?

To make your sentence more effective, try not to use the word 'thread' twice. Try this:-

Further proof, should any be needed, that the internet is a triumph of democracy over censorship. In 1977 the BBC would have announced that Ding Dong had made no. 2 in the charts and Rod Stewart oh so narrowly made no. 1. Interesting that they're still tying themselves up in knots over censorship even now instead of just reporting the facts and giving the tune equal coverage.

Not sure about more effective but definitely more elegant.

Not supporting this campaign however I also do not support the BBC cow towing to the Government and not playing this in the charts

But the BBC are left wing socialist Thatcher haters surely they can't be trying to censor the song? The BBC described on here would surely be putting it on high rotation along with Maggies Farm, Maggie on the Guillotine etc etc.

Of course they're trying to censor the song. God Save The Queen? Relax? Same as it ever was. And as always they just end up looking like the exact opposite of the authorative impartial gold standard they are supposed to represent.

'I'm in love with Margaret Thatcher' is storming up the charts tonight and is already in the top ten. I wonder if there will be such an effort to stop the BBC playing it if it gets to number one?

i-Tunes - I'm in love with Margaret Thatcher

In the interests of fair play BOTH tracks should be played in full with NO comment. BBC are gutless jibbers.

I wonder of those downloading the Notsensibles track realise the song was originally a pisstake. This will be the first time in about 25 years I've owned a piece of vinyl that is in the top 10.

Are Tories really buying that track?!

Blatant censorship even if they only play a 5 seconds snippet.

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

They think nothing of playing mysogynistic tracks, nothing at all wrong with tracks promoting drug use or crime. Ding Ding The Witch is dead is a great tune and a farewell from Thatchers many detractors and victims.

Play the ****er.

Typical left-wing BBC not respecting the free market choice of consumers! Thatcher would be most upset were she alive today. But if she was alive today, the track would not have received so many sales. Oops, am in a world of confusion.

This is exactly the point! The singles chart is a market driven representation of the free purchasing choices of the nation. Nothing more, nothing less. For the BBC to misrepresent it by not playing this song would be interference from a centralised authority, something Thatcher was very much against!

surely "world of confusion" was Gary Moore wasn't it?


It's Tricky

 

[The Birdman]

She was a white witch and it should be played in full freedom of speech that's what she believed in. RIP

 

[The Spanish]

As for the age of Thatcher's detractors ... somewhere I have a letter written in 1982 by my then 88-year-old great aunt, which is one of the most vitriolic outpourings of disgust at Thatcher's responsibility for the Falklands conflict that I have ever read.

someone should have told her argentina started the falklands war.

Mind you, Thatcher had previous, trying to ban Spycatcher and 'video nasties'.

Purely as a matter of interest, but do you have a job? if so what do you do?
