Post Punk Britain 'The Thatcher Years' by Post Punk Britain

Originally broadcast on 20/04/13 on Break London, this show was recorded as the body of Margaret Thatcher was being wheeled from Westminster to St Pauls. These selections, for me, say a lot about what it was like in the UK during her premiership.
