Thatcher ? is that the same Thatcher that finished as PM in 1990. 35 years ago.

 

I don't know about you, but the 80's and the first half of the 90's were probably the best years of my younger life.

 

The same Thatcher that pulled the UK up by its bootstraps after the mess Labour left the 70's in ?
 

Selling off the Nations assets ? 

 

Did you mean Brown ? Who not only sold off half the gold reserves at a fraction of the price, but saddled the Public Services with PFI debt, that won't be paid off until 2060.

 

Thatcher made mistakes. I think most will agree that they were honest mistakes.

 

Can anyone say the same about

 

Major / Blair / Brown / Cameron / and all who followed ?
 

Not 1 that I would urinate on if they were on fire.🔥

Why not ?
 

The Welfare State is close to unaffordable, it is nowhere near collapse as claimed by the SoS for work and Pensions. It certainly needs reform, as it is not fit for purpose.

 

That makes her a bit of a teller of fibs, or lies, depending on how you view it.

 

All politicians are liars, or to put that in PC terms, economical with the actualities.

How many times do I have to tell you. We're not racists anymore. Anyone who disagrees with the obviously flawed left wing policies destroying the country is now a right wing extremist terrorist. 😄 Do try to keep up. 

 

Just as anyone who wanted an inquiry into the predominantly Pakistani rape gangs was a right wing opportunist (until Starmer himself agreed to it of course). 😆

What a clown show. All you guys have left is your tired old cliches about anyone who disagrees with you. 

 

 

 

Use of the royal 'We'; illusions of grandeur, Jonny? Oh, that's right! You are the self-appointed spokesman for all indigenous, white, working-class, male Brits.

 

To listen to you, anyone would think that crime, homelessness, etc didn't exist in the UK before the recent surge in immigration.

 

A tired, old cliché to label that message as racist/ xenophobic?  Maybe, but to use a tired, old idiom: If the shoe fits, wear it.
