died on hunger strike a month after being elected MP for Fermanagh and South Tyrone.

His election had been such a powerful statement against the British government under that it immediately passed the Representation of the People (sic) Act 1981 to stop the electorate doing it again.

’s Roy Hattersley spoke out against it on principle.

Again, those convicted of crimes should be able to vote and also be elected. , such as it is, requires it.

Of the music she created, one song sticks out in my mind as more important. Her scathing take-down of in 1990, after a decade of Thatcherism in Britain.

"Black Boys On Mopeds"

England's not the mythical land of Madame George and roses
It's the home of police who kill Black boys on Mopeds

Many others have covered the song and repeated its truths.

With Rachel Reeves channeling the ghost of Margaret Thatcher, Labour looks to take on the mantle of the Nasty Party. The principal difference with Thatcher is that Reeves can't count.

That conclusion is exactly where ended up just over forty years ago.

At least at the start she did have time for argument and evidence!

@Jgmeadows Maybe that was ’s true talent: she convinced voters to accept the pain to get the gain. Sadly, in her case, she was probably mostly wrong, so it didn’t work out so well for everyone. 🤔

Similarly,perhaps, is arguably right about the need for pension reform, but the unpopularity of such measures has been successfully exploited by others to forward their own political future by making unrealistic promises they can’t keep. 🤷‍♂️

When did start and who coined the phrase?
One of the earliest uses of the phrase “May the Fourth be with you” came on May 4, 1979, when a London newspaper writer congratulated Britain’s new prime minister, , on her first day of office.

In a full-page ad the writer said, “ Be With You, Maggie. Congratulations!”

Over 40 years later, fans across the globe continue to spread Star Wars cheer.
