Thatcher speeches for CD charts?
Anyone care for joining with me in a group :puke: ?

The speeches of Lady Thatcher are to be released as a boxed set of CDs.

The three-disc compilation of the Conservative former prime minister's greatest hits includes a speech set to acid house music.

Margaret Thatcher: The Great Speeches, published by politics bookshop Politicos, will include such landmark tracks as 'The lady's not for turning'.

Music producer Charles Bailey, who has mixed versions of the speeches of Labour veteran Tony Benn says that Lady Thatcher's delivery lends itself to this type of presentation - and it was "right on the button and sexy". But comparing the styles of the two CD-performers, Mr Bailey said that Mr Benn "gives you a lesson in history and democracy" while Lady Thatcher "gives you a soundbite".

1. If this starts an 'ironic' re-appraisal of Thatcher.
I for one will start shooting indiscriminately. Still, won't be long until we can tramp the dirt down on her grave.
