I'm not sure what to make of that one. The years of the Thatcher regime were the most vicious I can remember in all of post war Britain. On the other hand, this latest lot are to some very limited extent constrained by the Lib-Dems. I seriously hope we never find out what can happen if Cameron and Co are ever able to govern with a tory majority.

BTW. The best thing to do with MtheGM is to ignore him. The man is incapable of saying anything beyond stringing together a load of unjustified and unjustifiable petty insults.
