Ding Dong the Witch is Dead
Margaret Thatcher was the first woman to become the Prime Minister for Britain and recently died at the age of 87 because of a stroke. For some people her death was a loss while others participated in a celebration of her death -dedicating the song from the Wizard of Oz to her passing.
A vast majority of the citizens in Britain thought that Margaret Thatcher created policies leading toward inequality and blamed her for polarizing the country. Because of this hatred they wanted nothing more than to publicize the song Ding Dong the Witch is Dead over the radio.
Nigel Farage, the head of the right-wing libertarian party, UK Independence argues, "Much as I hate it, I think that if you ban a record, you make a huge, huge mistake. If you suppress things, then you make them popular. So play the bloody thing. If you ban it, it will be number one for weeks."
Subsiding the fact that Thatchers family is still in a great deal of mourning, if the BBC radio decides to ban the song it will be a longer mourning period for them to deal with because of the outburst it will cause. Thatchers supporter Toby young stated, "Make no mistake, if the BBC does ban Ding Dong the Witch is Dead, those of us who believe in the principles Margaret Thatcher stood for will be the losers in the long run."
