		A further post-Falklands war hoax that originated from members of Crass garnered enough attention to elicit fears of KGB activity from the Reagan Administration.
		Known as 'the Thatchergate tapes', this was a cassette featuring a faked conversation using edited samples of Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagans' voices, in which they appeared to allege that Europe would be used as a target for intermediate range nuclear weapons in any conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union.
		Copies were leaked to the press, and although put together totally anonymously, the British Observer newspaper was somehow able to link the tape with the band.

	KFTH - Crass Page
		The band had struck another victory for subversion and found themselves doing interviews and speaking out all over the British and American press.
		The "Thatchergate" tape would be the last controversy for the band.
		Facing a high-profile that made it harder to get away with such actions and a cult status that bordered on the same hero-worship they hated about the punk sell-outs, the band broke up (as they had always planned) in the Orwellian year 1984.

	Falklands War (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Much material produced around this time by the anarchist punk band Crass was extremely critical of the war, in particular the singles "How Does it Feel to be the Mother of 1000 Dead" and "Sheep Farming in the Falklands" and the album Yes Sir, I Will.
		Crass were also responsible for Thatchergate, a hoax tape, originally attributed to the Soviet KGB, during which the spliced voice of Margartet Thatcher appears to imply that the HMS Sheffield was deliberately sacrificed in order to escalate the conflict.
		The popular computer games Harrier Attack and Yomp presented unofficial portraits of the fighting.
