Re: Margaret Thatcher

I'm not in the least surprised by the outcome of the thread, and it doesn't matter to me that almost noone agrees with me about Mrs T's legacy.

I do think that the degeneration into personal insults is the sign of a lost argument, but again doubt we can even agree on that . Good thing I didn't come to this forum to find new friends....

Returning to the real debate, a quote from Mrs T is in the circumstances appropriate "The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money" Newsflash - it's official, in 2008 the UK actually did run out of other people's money. National debt topped 1 trillion pounds.

On tax my point is that I have no problem paying it but absolutely object to it being handed over to people like the Phillpotts who were allowed the choice of living off the efforts of others.
