MGM - I know lots of tories who would be outraged and distance themselves from the things Bluesman has said about the unemployed in this time of recession.

However the last time anyone said anything like that in the British parliament was Thatcher and Tebbit, and Lily of course. In fact tories with a more compassionate turn of mind were branded wets, and lost their ministerial jobs. Or got shat on from a great height - like John MacGregor and Hesseltine.

Thatcherite is the correct term.

Hope you are keeping well, MGM.
