"Most of that was complete and utter tosh"
Course it was - and your saying so makes it so, as usual
Which bit was actually "tosh" - going to show us the unemployed miners with their second homes or Rollers.
Or maybe the wealth distribution bit is a global myth
"By the way they did borrow to buy bigger cars, buy widescreen TV's, take more holidays abroad, wear the fanciest designer trainers, etc."
Did they - not on the sink estate I grew up in - they borrowed for the reasons I said.
The reason that Fuhrer T launched her 'buy your council home" fiasco was to pay lip-service to the fact that working people wished to improve their lot.
An utter disaster about to be revisited.
Throwing up the Irish incompetence doesn't ring any balls either - I have no truck for Ireland following Britain's steps - but at least the Irish kids can go to Europe for work without too much of a problem - as I said, not satisfactory, but beats the situation back in the UK where kids are forced to take anything offered to them for whatever crap wages rather than move about and look for work abroad.
The U.K. unemployment figures are massaged by the policy of forcing people into taking what is offered at any price - a life destroying policy for any young person with any skill or inclination - just to make them in charge look good and win elections.
"Milton Malby "fiddler" pals to put a tune to it you would have yet another whinging Irish Ballad or a Country & Western Hit"
But you'd rather indulge in your racist Little Britain' stereo typing.
Thatcherite to the core - pity she climbed into bed with Pinochet and dropped the mask
