Tumbling-Dice
Caf Nostradamus
First of all, I resent very much being called a shite – personally, I’ve always found when little men resort to abuse like this, it always highlights the chip on your shoulders.
I’ve not repeated Margaret Thatcher was ace – ( even though I think she is, and was, a wonderful woman , I’m afraid as a superlative, it leaves a lot to be desired.
I have chatted in this thread about LFC in reply to Dr Dwayne, who I hold in the utmost esteem, I would be surprised however if you took him to task as you have me – or do you just try to bully women? Again, the little man syndrome .
My mother was always a Tory, as her father was before her, and yes, I’m sorry to disappoint you, she did indeed have some wealth.
My father however wasn’t born to that life, his father died when he was eight years old and went into the army when he was old enough, before attempting to make a living as a Joiner. When I was born , he was on £8 a week and had a pushbike to get to work , however I hasten to add that he was the same wonderful person when he had several Jaguars and a large work force under him.
As for Lady T’s policies – even I didn’t agree with the Poll Tax as I thought it was grossly unfair but what was wrong with the right to buy? I'm in the fortunate position of never living in a Council House, but I've known lots of people who have, and who bought their houses. They all seemed happy enough!
I remember the Winter of Discontent – try attempting revision with just a candle for company – that’s what the power of the Unions was all about back then – until Lady Thatcher confronted them, Callaghan had done nothing at all to attempt to reign them in ( Crisis, what Crisis? )
She also brought inflation down after it had spiralled out of control in the Seventies – she had to reduce public spending to reduce the deficit Labour had left.
I could go on and on but I'm not going to justify my lovely life to a creature like you!
Sorry I don’t live in your world Tumbling Dice - Unlike some of the reasoned arguments on here about Lady T, you just sound bitter and jealous
Just the kind of weak, unsubstantiated, condescending, belligerent, self-centred, 'get down little man' answer I would expect from a Tory.
Thanks.
