Thread Name: BS: Where now Thatcher haters?
Subject: RE: BS: Where now Thatcher haters?
I always think of the Yahbooo years as the Kinnock ones. Kinnock always struck me as a thoroughly decent chap, who couldnt string two words together when sixteen or seventeen words could be squeezed into a sentence.
he achieved the impossible of making Thatcher look good. Thatcher herself was a very wooden speaker, but after Neil had done his bit - she seemed the model of adroit pithiness.
How did we ever arrive a having those two as the leaders of the government and opposition...? There really were so many more able, intelligent, and articulate people available on both sides.
