Hey Limeys...

I so wanted it to be a FB3 song .

There's something pleasing that your secondhand resentment remains much stronger than mine.

I can't deal with injustice it eats away at me.

You are the civil rights hero we've longed for all these years.

Nah unfortunately I am a selfish twat.

Accept my snide faux compliment, dag nabbit!

...
Which other notable figures? Loads of anti-Thatcher protest songs from that era but it doesn't ring any bells with me either.

Wish I could offer more. It's mostly an impression for me, only a semi-formed memory. I can't even say it was an anti-Thatcher song.

Every 80's song is anti-Thatcher.

Except that one obviously. The Exploited were definitely pro-Thatcher.[/quote]

One more reason to hate those fucking cunts.

Request to Limeys with good memories dating to the 80s (I'm thinking Marky, Heston, Wally). I have a really vague memory of a music video from around '85 or '86 that featured various notable figures (Thatcher stands out) in valentine hearts and marked, I think, secret love. It's just something that popped in my head, but I haven't been able to track down what the hell it is I'm halfway remembering. Does that ring any bells?

Help is at hand, check this...

Yeah, that's it exactly. My memory is obviously fucked in thinking it was a proper music video—hell, I have no idea where I would have seen that, living in Bumfuck, Saskatchewan in the mid-80s—but that is where it comes from. Thanks, man, your detective skills are tops.

edit: Now that I have more info, here's the full 20 min video: http://lux.org.uk/collection/works/death-valley-days

Would that have been on CBC's ZeD TV, or the experimental/short film show that sometimes came on after CBC Late Night?

So you had me trawling through countless dodgy 80's promo videos when it was a propaganda film all along!

God damn it Medulla!

Part of the job is untangling my confusion. This is a results-oriented business and that's why Heston gets to ride in the front seat to the ice cream parlour.

Providing "ice cream parlour" is Canadian for "Starship Lunatic Asylum" then I'm in total agreement.

There's also moose involved, but, yeah, pretty much.

OK fair enough then you need to keep forgetting stuff as to keep our boy occupied.

Genuinely makes me want to go there. Well done.

I've been to that place in the picture. It's called St. Michael's Mount and you can get there by foot at certain tides.
