I honestly expect him to say nothing. Lets face it, he's a little bit impotent in that regard these days. I really hoped they would react musicly to what is going on in the country. Who knows, maybe they still will.

Yeah I know what you mean. They were angry and vocal youths when there was less to be upset about but now they're mellow and middle aged and BBC1 while the country is going to shit. But no-one can blame them for growing up.

He'll Tweet about Thatcher when he's got something to promote, not a moment sooner. The man is a pro.

Maybe he was busy enjoying his brother's tweets on the matter.

Yeah he kind of has in that sense, but you can still be dignified in commenting. Even Morrissey has kind of managed it this time, as has Billy Bragg.

I find his silence about her death way more dignified than the majority of the comments that I've read on the internet in the past 24hrs.

And this too, maybe.

This exactly. He shouldn't need to say anything at all.

Maybe he'll write a song we will never hear about her?

Thatcher/Chavez seems plausible...
