Without getting into the politics of whether you agree or not with how she did the job, it's been interesting to see the huge divide in public opinion in the UK in the week that former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher died.
As a protest against what she did in office, there has been a campaign to get the Wizard of Oz song, "Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead" to number 1 in the main music chart. It looks like it will be top of the charts by Sunday.
This has left the BBC, who play the official chart, with a dilemma. If they play it, supporters with say it is in bad taste, if they ban it, they will be accused of censorship!
Would anything similar happen in the States? Has any past President polarized opinion to that degree?
This is not me want to be a political discussion, but one about the reaction this news has caused.

A similar campaign a few years ago saw people get sick of the winner of Simon Cowell's X Factor always being the Christmas Number 1. That managed to push Rage Against the Machine to the Christmas top spot instead. Is this a new form of protest?
