The Loadsamoney character was created in reaction to the policies of the Thatcher government of the day. The song also spawned a sold-out live tour.[2] In May 1988, Labour Party leader Neil Kinnock used the term loadsamoney to criticise the policies of the Conservative government and journalists began to refer to the "loadsamoney mentality" and the "loadsamoney economy".[3]
