In only a few days since the death of former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, the Wizard of Oz song ‘Ding Dong the Witch is Dead’ has approached the top of the UK singles music chart.

Despite having stepped out of party and governmental leadership 23 years earlier, her detractors are still outraged at her so much so that a campaign to make this song Britain’s best seller is likely to succeed.
