Collapse

1. Destroyed union power (but now the fat cats have carte blanche to do what they like).
2. Liberalised the City (but now the fat cats have carte blanche to do what they like).
3. Allowed people to buy council houses (leading to a shortage and hence a housing boom)
4. Shut down inefficent manufacturing (but now we have no manufacturing)
5. Started the process of making Britain understand that it was not a great power anymore (a process which is continuing slowly).Hard Brexit now!

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - EpicurusComment
