Thread Name: BS: Where now Thatcher haters?
Subject: RE: BS: Where now Thatcher haters?
Wasn't rounding on anyone in particular,
Nothing seems to have worked effectively, I think the political system has to change. On the one hand a truly free market at it's basest level of supply and demand but there are to many inbetweeners wanting a cut. Rents are too high in the UK, killing high streets, sucking money out of the economy in rent support on dwellings, reducing peoples disposable income, increasing wages. Not the only problem but a large one. On the other the chinese model, it seems to be working (ah but only for a few!) I wonder why that Russia and China took so readily to capitalism without a meaningful democracy? Was it because they had a track record of corrupt dictatorial institutions!
