Click on this link to listen to the full version of Attila the Stockbroker's song from the 1990s. He wrote this song to celebrate the successful campaign against the flat rate Poll tax, a campaign which weakened Margaret Thatcher and led to her downfall. In the song, he imagines Wat Tyler, who died in a massive revolt against a flat rate tax many hundreds of years ago, smiling to see the campaign successful today. In particularn the parts of the country which ha dbeen very radical in the fourteenth century were known as conservative regions in the twentieth, and yet were very much involved in this campaign against Margaret Thatcher's policies.
