Don't want you thinking I'm persecuting you, Teribus, but, as for this:

As for the thread Margaret Thatcher will probably go down as one of the country's best peacetime Prime Ministers, she was a far, far better leader and politician than those she replaced and a damned sight better than those who came after her and attempting to blame her for everything wrong that has happened in the twenty-five years since she left office is simply idiotic and pathetic - a typical standpoint for a "socialist" though as "it is always somebody else's fault" irrespective of how badly they screw up (The Blair & Brown years - and before the screams of "They weren't real socialists" deafen us, remember you lot voted for Blair three times).

Very unlike you, that. The whole thing consists of unsupported assertions. I'm sure you could have found something to back you up. You do read the Sun, don't you...?

Incidentally, I for one never once voted FOR Blair. I always voted AGAINST the Tories. LibDem every time, to make sure the Tory didn't get this seat (Cornwall North). I shall do the same again this time in spite of the betrayal of 2010. My clothes peg is ready. Nothing is black and white, Billyboy. A visceral lifelong hatred of the Tories does not translate into a love of Blair/Brown, I assure you.
