then immediately talks about his song Tramp the Dirt Down and how he wants to witness Margaret Thatcher's burial and help stomp the dirt down on her grave. Remember that Margaret Thatcher was good friends with Jimmy Savile.

Given that this song was written long before the Savile story broke, he might want to tramp the dirt down for other reasons....like the ones he mentions in the song.

Just because the Savile story hadn't broken in the media doesn't mean dozens upon dozens of people didn't already know about it. You're getting lazy shill!

Listen to the damn song before spouting off like a moron.

Does my logical argument scare you shill boy? Piss off

Are_we__sure ago

Were you making one?

The song's about avarice and greed.

uh yeah shill - that just because the story hadn't broken in the news yet didn't mean buttloads of people didn't already know savile was a pedo! But like always you have to deflect and derail to steer everything in the direction you want it.

Good little shill, here's your cookie!

uh yeah shill

You're immediately buying into a theory you just learned about and you're calling it logical.

Elvis Costello has talked many, many times about that song and why he wrote it. It has absolutely zero to do with Jimmy Savile. Costello had a long standing and public antipathy to Margaret Thatcher's policies and wrote at least three songs that deal with them, probably more.

I’m not agreeing with anybody, but Maggie Thatcher is a well known hated figure in Britain and people hate her for MANY reasons, not just Saville, I’m sure Costello was the same
