BBC in hot seat as anti-Thatcher song climbs chart

Anti-Thatcher protesters react to the death of former British Prime Minister as they gather at Trafalgar Square in London, Monday, April 8, 2013. Thatcher's spokesman, Tim Bell, said the former prime minister died from a stroke Monday morning at the Ritz hotel in London. Flags were flown at half-staff at Buckingham Palace, Parliament and Downing Street for the 87 year old. Queen Elizabeth II authorized a ceremonial funeral, a step short of a state funeral to be held for Thatcher at St. Paul's Cathedral in London next week with military honors.

The Witch Is Dead" zooms up the music charts in a protest against Margaret Thatcher.
