Thread Name: BS: Was Thatcher right?
Subject: RE: BS: Was Thatcher right?
Thatcher was pretty evil but she was in the right place at the right time. The country wanted change, you don't get far in this country if you don't have the people with you, it's far too easy just to blame her. The unions were corrupt and, by the way, it wasn't her that defeated the miners, it was the miners themselves in the UDM.

To try and show that the UK is morally bankrupt using the one example on the bus is risible. There are plenty of good things happening but ake is never going to see that with his blinding hatred for Blair colouring every post his makes.

Blair has won three elections and is as popular as ever, face it ake, the loony left (capitalist toolbox?) lost; the election, the argument and the plot.

Blair's performance will pass the test of time, I doubt if ake's will pass the current test match.
