Mike mentioned "the lost generation – Thatcher's children". We are now living with the legacy from thier kids - i.e. her grandchildren.

Her whole basic idea was to transform us from a we / us / our society, into a I / me / mine one - and she succeeded in this. Many kids on our streets today have never known any sense of community, indeed, many of them have never even known what it feels like to be wanted by anybody.

The Right Honourable Bitch for Finchley did however wake me up politically, when the Belgrano was sunk, and all she could do was stand on the steps of number 10 saying "Rejoice, Rejoice", when real peoples sons, fathers and brothers had been killed.

We must do our all to make sure that this never happens again. All that is necessary for evil to prevail, is for decent people to do nothing.
