"Can't you bloody-well see that they have not the least desire for your doctrinaire socialism?"
It is extremely patronining for a Thatcherite to presume to speak on behalf of the British people, especially with the track-record of that particular of that particular dictatorship, which stripped Britain of its industries and its employment.
Thatcher did more than any single leader to strip the British worker of a voice in their lives - now, it appears, her supporters would decide which ideas should be put before the electorate and which should not.
You would do far better explaining the damage done to Britain by your particular school of thought before you start blocking others.
"Doctrinaire Socialism" as you put it, brought some of the greatest improvements to the lives of the British people in the 20th century; your hero systematically and deliberately destroyed those improvements.
Don't presume to speak for the British people
