a real economy based on productive endeavor, and ushered in the spivs to make a killing on peoples "futures"? Throw in on the make politicians riding the bull market, and we are where we are now. ...trouble is -- if she hadn't done what she did, the country would have gone bust and we would all have been a lot worse off. I remember it well -- do you? Thatcher was trying to clear up the utter mess and chaos left by Callaghan and his hopeless government who had to go cap in hand to the IMF. And so again after 13 years of an incompetent labour govt we are back where we were in 1979 -- organised chaos with the country on the brink of collapse. Why don't people learn from history? Socialists don't have a clue and should never again be given the opportunity to govern -- they fail every time. Their biggest failure is their lack of understanding of human nature and the way we are. Listen you pathetic heap of toadshit. Your lot have been in office for thirteen long fucking years. If they could completely wreck a great economy in that time, undoing anything that MT had done some seventeen to six years beforehand, should have been a cakewalk. Your argument does not wash, probably like you. So if you don't approve of what I said, try fucking off twice, with tin-tacks up your arse, singing the red flag. History bad, Jury is still out
