Mrs Thatcher Song | Irish Anti-Thatcher Song

In 1980 and 1981, Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA) and Irish National Liberation Army (INLA) prisoners in Northern Ireland's Maze Prison carried out hunger strikes to regain the status of political prisoners that had been removed in 1976 by the preceding Labour government. Bobby Sands began the 1981 strike, saying that he would fast until death unless prison inmates won concessions over their living conditions. Thatcher refused to countenance a return to political status for the prisoners, having declared "Crime is crime is crime; it is not political". Nevertheless, the British government privately contacted republican leaders in a bid to bring the hunger strikes to an end. After the deaths of Sands and nine others, the strike ended. Some rights were restored to paramilitary prisoners, but not official recognition of political status. Violence in Northern Ireland escalated significantly during the hunger strikes.
Thatcher narrowly escaped injury in an IRA assassination attempt at a Brighton hotel early in the morning on 12 October 1984. Five people were killed, including the wife of minister John Wakeham. Thatcher was staying at the hotel to prepare for the Conservative Party conference, which she insisted should open as scheduled the following day. She delivered her speech as planned, though rewritten from her original draft, in a move that was supported across the political spectrum and enhanced her popularity with the public.
On 6 November 1981, Thatcher and Taoiseach (Irish prime minister) Garret FitzGerald had established the Anglo-Irish Inter-Governmental Council, a forum for meetings between the two governments. On 15 November 1985, Thatcher and FitzGerald signed the Hillsborough Anglo-Irish Agreement, which marked the first time a British government had given the Republic of Ireland an advisory role in the governance of Northern Ireland. In protest, the Ulster Says No movement led by Ian Paisley attracted 100,000 to a rally in Belfast, Ian Gow, later assassinated by the PIRA, resigned as Minister of State in HM Treasury, and all 15 Unionist MPs resigned their parliamentary seats; only one was not returned in the subsequent by-elections on 23 January 1986.

Lyrics:
Oh, we love you Mrs. Thatcher, you're the darling of us all.
You're the curse of the Irish nation, Fine Gael and Fianna Fail!
You've destroyed me hire purchase, and you put me on the dole,
if I could get me hands on you I'd kick you up the hole!

Oh, we love you Mrs. Thatcher, no one in this world can match her.
She's trying to take the vote away from the Paddies once again!
We're not worried about your blasted votes, your politician's gas
You can keep them Mrs. Thatcher, you can stick them up your ass!

Oh, we love you Mrs. Thatcher, you're the cutest girl of all.
Such a pretty, fine and burton, sure she’d like, she'd not recall!
When she holds negotiations, things, they always reach a hitch.
she's the world in ruination, such a schemer the old bitch!

Oh, we love you Mrs. Thatcher, with your prices rising high.
And the work is getting awful scarce, we're losing, that's no lie!
Now you say that you don't want to stay, you've been here long enough,
if I were a taxidermist, well, I'd tell you to get stuffed!

Oh, we love you Mrs. Thatcher, sure, you know a trick or two.
And when you come to Dublin, we know just what you'll do!
Sure, you'll dress up in your finery, you'll preach with all your might,
and all of your fancy promises are just a load of shite!

Oh, we love you Mrs. Thatcher, like your old man likes the brew.
Such a lad this husband Denis when he's had a drink or two!
Sure, you'll take a pint of Murphy's and a glass of Irish mist,
and because he sleeps with you each night, no wonder he's always pissed!

Oh, we love you Mrs. Thatcher, you're the darling of us all.
You're the curse of the Irish nation, Fine Gael and Fianna Fail!
You've destroyed me hire purchase, and you put me on the dole,
if I could get my hands on you I'd kick you up the hole!
