    Maggie was right

    In 1976 Mrs Thatcher said " Socialist governments traditionally make a financial mess. They always run out of other people's money. It's quite a characteristic of them."

    Labour have proved her right since then. Twice.
    And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

    There's a quote, something like Socialist governments run out of money and Conservative governments run out of support.

      Time for a change. (And a nice cup of tea).

            In 1996 I used UK trains first time - it did not impress me to have to open window, bend over out of the window to open door from the OUTSIDE. Even in Soviet trains they had inside opening handle.

            Who was in power before that I wonder?

            Or how about Thatcher allegedly not allowing BT to put fiber into ground to replace crappy copper phone lines?

              Well, it snows a lot in the Soviet Union - necessity is the mother of invention and all that.

                    I'd say she is responsible for destroying remnants of British industry, though on the other hand Labour probably finished the job, but Maggie certainly set this train to go into that direction.
