Re: Identity of the three Pigs?

thanks for the info Loupgaros,

do we have any ideas who might the first pig have been (it is obviously some sort of corporate big wig), because Roger seldom pulls his punches

yeah I also always thought that the second one was Maggie (the whole hatpin and handgun thing), but the song was recorded in 1977 when Maggie was only a junior minister (she was health or education minster for while "Thatcher, Thacther the milk snatcher"), so it doesn't necessarily tally. Also it doesn't quite makes sense with the 'handgun' reference unless she was noted for her sabre rattling whilst in opposition or as a backbencher.

If it IS Maggie, it only goes to show (to me) quite how amazingly prescient Roger was because he had her card marked years before anyone else did.

I completely agree that Roger disliked Maggie (he is a smart guy), but I always thought that came later (during the Wall and the Final Cut)
