"...Oh yeah ? she taught a whole generation that greed and selfishness are GOOD..."

No, many people **chose** to live by her values, that was all. They were entirely free NOT to do so.

I didn't.

Tony and Cherie Blair did though.

And the beat goes on......

....within New Labour.

I feel nothing but sympathy for her daughter, for to nurse anyone with dementia is soul destroying, and she is, after all, Carol's mother.




"...Oh yeah ? she taught a whole generation that greed and selfishness are GOOD..."

And Tony and Cherie Blair didn't? How soon we forget.

Just one example

All those speeches she gave, for vast fees? All the freebie clothes she took advantage of? The life of a political spouse 'celebrity' dressed to kill, with her fashion guru, Carol, *always* to hand, with photos of the two of them choosing which clothes she should wear, whilst sitting on Cherie's bed in Downing St.

Oh purleeze!

They thought they were the Posh and Becks of politicians (and politicians' wives) whilst behind them both, skulking in the shadows, lay Alistair Campbell, pulling all the strings he'd so easily been able to attach to The Tony Puppet he'd found, designing his Designer Britain, with the label of 'Orwell 1984' being embossed upon everything he touched...

With the Blairs came 'Cool Britannia' and The Age of the Celebrity, who they hung out with at every given opportunity. It was the age of the Luvvies..mwa mwa kisses and Cherie posing at any and every opportunity that came her way.

And yet, Tony promised us all a more 'compassionate Britain' when he first came into 'power'...

Yeah, right...

They all sicken me....as does Gordon, who, despite losing/messing up the pensions of millions of people, leaving them struggling for the rest of their lives, is now 'our leader'...And we're all supposed to conveniently forget what a catastrophe he created in the lives of so many? Sheesh! WHERE have our brains gone? Maybe the country is suffering from Dementia En Masse?

Blame Mrs. Thatcher for her part, but not without blaming those who came after..right alongside any of those who follow/followed them all, with 'eyes wide shut'
