I haven't seen Meryl Streeps performance as Thatcher and may not do for a while. I still recall how the 1980s began with our art and music entwined with politics, earnest small tied singers sporting NHS specks ushered in the decade. By the end of the decade we were doing our utmost to forget politics altogether as we dropped acid and pills to dance to music free from politics or performer. Let us not forget how politically divided the 80s were. By the time she was ousted by her party I no longer bought papers let alone watched Question Time. Your politics was something you kept close to your chest. Acid House saw the sons of miners dance with the sons of Lords.
