The English Beat play Stand Down Margaret [Thatcher!]

This video clip must be from the current English Beat tour...Dave made a point of mentioning Margaret's birthday and failed memory last week in Seattle too. Stand Down Margaret is one of my favorite EB tunes, since I well remember the dreaded Thatcher-Reagan years. . . and they always pair it with Whine and Grine or another tasty tune.

I wonder how long it will be before people like Steve Earle and Neil Young start writing Stand Down Barack songs?
