The death of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher yesterday led many musicians of her era to look back at her controversial legacy. Her social policies in the UK, her unwillingness to impose sanctions on the apartheid government in South Africa and support for Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet among other things famously led to protest songs from The Specials, The English Beat, Pink Floyd, Elvis Costello, Crass, Billy Bragg, and even recently, Frank Turner ("Thatcher Fucked the Kids")
Morrissey probably had the most brutal description for the late prime minister, calling her: "a terror without an atom of humanity."
