............This wasn't the last subversive act perpetrated by the band. The Falklands War demanded that all of their attention return to their anti-war, pacifist ideals. The 1982 single How Does it Feel to be the Mother of 1,000 Dead? addresses Margaret Thatcher directly. Although the war is a minor point in history to most Americans, it was a crucial issue in England at the time, and did in fact claim around 1,000 lives. The record, sold for the usual low Crass price, sold thousands of copies. An additional flexi, Sheep Farming in the Falklands was distributed by the covert act of slipping it inside other records inside stores. Unsuspecting record buyers would return home to find a bonus inside their LP: a bitter, sarcastic attack on the Tory war machine. The How Does it Feel? single actually made it to the floor of Parliament, where conservatives led by Tim Eggar tried to get it banned as obscene. The controversy was swept under the carpet after Eggar was humiliated by Crass in a debate aired on the BBC.
