Thatchergate was the colloquial title of a hoax perpetrated by members of the anarcho-punk band Crass during the aftermath of the 1982 Falklands War. Using excerpts from speeches by Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Margaret Thatcher and President of the United States Ronald Reagan, a recording was spliced together which purported to be a telephone conversation between the two leaders.
