Yes, 25 years.

The 70 (or, where national is 60, 60) speed limit is one of laws that is universally broken: first that shows that the law is out of touch with reality, second, it creates, as I said, disrespect for many laws.

Don, you know as well as I do that the taxes that rose were not those that had been promised not to rise.

What Thatcher did was intentionally get the nation hooked on the greed is good game. That was the progenitor of bank deregulation, and the acceptance of unwise debt flowed from both the greed and the deregulation.

That greed was what captured the stage that BLiar walked upon. Slowly Labour was edging away from that. There is no way that there will be anything other than a return to it if the conservatives return to more direct power.

I suppose if you want to get back to forelock tugging and the poor giving to the rich you can vote for it. Makes no sense (much like Cameron's budgetary plans) to me.
