Nothing actually constructive to say on the matters discussed then Reg?
No alternatives, no disputing the facts, no proper discussion at all just petty jibes.
Says it all about your political stance really.

Party dogma (on both sides) neither requires justification, nor is capable of any.

We could harp on about about the damage maggie did to our country, will it help, no it wont
only the cobbled together govt can do anything about it

Damage! She saved this country which was in terminal economic decline in 1979. You should be thankful to her Keith.

Like i said, harping on about the damage others have caused this country does little, of course it clouds the issue
a good barryw tactic

You are right Keith. No point at all in harping on about the failures of Labour either, such as:
Encouraging the banks to expand their balance sheets willi-nilly;
Dishonestly taking us into 2 expensive and unwinnable wars which have cost thousands of lives on both sides;
Selling our gold at the bottom of the market, having driven the price down by announcing the sale in advance;
Employing hundreds of thousands on the public payroll unneccessarily;
Opening the floodgates to totally uncontrolled immigration while emasculating the immigration service,
for example.
No point at all.

No clouding Keith - facts. Think about how terrible things were in this country before her after the repeated economic failures of governments of all parties. We were in terminal decline and the country was being wrecked by the Unions with widescale strikes and restrictive practices. Massive loss making industries being subsidised to produce second rate goods no-one wanted. 3 months to wait for a phone. You could only take £50 out of the country on holiday. Do you remember having to get your passport stamped when changing currency? We were in a mess and she changed all that for the better.

But if you don't look back and learn from history, you'll make the same mistakes all over again.

Politics in Government is all about very clever people doing very stupid things. Doing the same thing over again and expecting a different outcome is the stupidest of all. Yet they all do it. Why?

I have to disagree with you on this one Peter.
They are stupid people doing stupid things, which sadly proves a good education does not always give you common sense but might give you a massive ego.

But you have to be clever to get to the top of the pile. On the other hand, perhaps the really clever people don't want to.
