Rule Britannia....😂

More nostalgia for you -

The private renters trapped in Britain’s new slums

That's Thatcher's legacy. That's what she did for England. Oh, how we danced when we heard she was dead.

Isn't your comment a bit extreme? Blame the problem on Thatcher? Several PMs have come and gone since.

Oh, she's not the only politician to make life worse for the public, history will likely make Cameron the worst ever Prime Minister in that regard, but Thatcher sold off the public housing stock and so is culpable in this instance.

And...
We queued and we queued, begged and borrowed to find the cash to buy those privatised stocks that Sid, remember him?, tempted us with.
How we queued... to pay for stuff we already owned and stole from those who couldn't afford to join in!!

I recently interviewed some people for a summer intern position. One of the questions, not my made up questions but the HR required questions, was "tell me about something you have achieved, something you're proud of". One applicant said that he'd invested all of his OSAP student loan, repaid it at the end of the year, and benefitted from the interest gained. He struck he as a child of Thatcher, to him there is no such thing as society and so no concept that one can steal from it. Very like your BT, and similar, investors.

Isn't it a waste of time to worry about what Thatcher did? You can't reverse her policy. It is done. Rather worry about the present. There is a lot to worry about like May & Co.

The one doesn't detract from the other. If it's another snowy day I take comfort in the fact Thatcher hasn't yet risen from the grave, if things go wrong at work we say "at least she's still dead". "Who's fault was that?" is invariably answered "the Thatcher government" whether the failure at hand is in the computer, under the car bonnet or in one's aging knees. This takes very little time and affirms that one grasps the concept of a scale of evil before going back to the great question of our century "which electorate was more stupid, the one that voted for Trump or the one that voted for Brexit?".

If selling off council houses was such an unfair thing to do, why didn't the likes of you go out and raise your voices against it? You could have had your say.
It is sad that you waist precious energy and time to worry about the past. Get a live, look ahead.

What Thatcher should have done is weed out the council house tenants who had the means to buy within the private sector, thus freeing up stock for those who couldn't afford to buy. Don't think that would have flown, politically, although the lefties should have been delighted - "To each according to his needs..."

I don't understand anyone rejoicing in another human beings death unless they are some kind of evil child muderer like Ian Brady and Myra Hindley for example, they were evil to the core, Thatcher was a politician whose politics you didn't agree with nothing more, she didn't murder anyone in cold blood, she didn't molest innocent children. This is the problem with politics, many people cant separate it from their personal feelings.

How do you know I didn't rail against it? I might have spent all my Sundays at Speaker's Corner waving placards.

.......and singing lustily continuous choreses of " the red flag" no doubt....😎😎
