The information regarding "Pigs (Three different ones)" has been the subject of a lot of discussion, but I think comments regarding the second verse and Margaret Thatcher are certainly wrong. She did not come to power until 1979, and the album, released in 1977 was based on much earlier Floyd work. In 1977 Margaret Thatcher was a relative unknown.
