Release Notes:
Back in 2005, anarchist collective Chumbawumba pre-sold an EP called In
Memoriam: Margaret Thatcher which they would keep under wraps until the prime
minister passed away. Since Thatcher did pass earlier this week, the band has
delivered the EP and is also streaming the release online. Along with that, the
band delivered a eulogy:
Let's make it clear: This is a cause to celebrate, to party, to stamp the dirt
down. Tomorrow we can carry on shouting and writing and working and singing and
striking against the successive governments that have so clearly followed
Thatcher's Slash & Burn policies, none more so than the present lot. But for
now, we can have a drink and a dance and propose a toast to the demise of
someone who blighted so many people's lives for so long. If we must show a
little reverence and decorum at this time, then so be it. Our deepest sympathies
go out to the families of all Margaret Thatcher's victims.
