ANTI-Thatcher sentiment has seen Ding Dong the Witch is Dead soar to No.27 in the UK iTunes chart this morning.

The sales are part of a Facebook campaign to make the Judy Garland song hit No.1 after the death of Margaret Thatcher.

Ding Dong the Witch is Dead was made famous in the 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz.

Ding Dong could hit No.1 in the UK by as early as next week, according to some predictions.

The British chart has been dominated by several Facebook download campaigns in the past five years.

The most successful saw Rage Against the Machine’s Killing in the Name become a UK Christmas No.1 in 2009.

The song was downloaded to stop the annual routine of X Factor winners hitting No.1 at Christmas.

Other anti-Thatcher songs have also been reactivated on British iTunes, including Elvis Costello’s Tramp the Dirt Down at No.93.

Meanwhile Morrissey’s Margaret on the Guillotine, Robert Wyatt’s Shipbuilding and Billy Bragg’s Between the Wars have all been circulated on social media.

Shortly after her death, Morrissey posted a blog that ended with the line "Thatcher was a terror without an atom of humanity.”

Others in the music world have been kinder, with Spice Girl Geri Halliwell tweeting "Thinking of our 1st Lady of girl power ,Margaret Thatcher , a green grocer's daughter who taught me anything is possible...x” while One Direction’s Harry Styles tweeted “RIP Baroness Thatcher.”
