Yeah, it's at times like this that I'm sorry there's no such thing as hell.

And to think that Rugby League fans always claim that they are the best supporters in sport? A family sport?

Some complete and utter scumbags on here.

I really do despair.

Brainwashed idiots.

Good riddance.

Disgustingly evil woman. A shame there's no Hell as it's what she deserves.

It is getting tiresome having to explain again that destruction is so much easier and cheaper than rebuilding.

Are you saying that Gordon Brown should have spent more to rebuild what the tories had destroyed?

The left lost the argument so they demonise and personally attack.

The longest democraticaly elected Prime minister for a hundred years, enough said.

Lefty loons can do one !

A tit has its uses. A brainwashed twit
Is, well, a brainwashed twit.

How am I brainwashed?

I was born during Winston Churchill's 3rd term as Prime Minister. Churchill and the tory administrations of Eden, MacMillan and Douglas-Home continued to build upon the work started by Clement Atlee to renew infrastructure, the biggest house building programme this country had ever seen, the development of the welfare state and the NHS.

By the time Thatcher came to power, I was married and paying a mortgage, even with interest rates that were upward of 15%. I spent my time on the cobbles while on picket duty. I saw the sell-off of nationally owned assets, sometimes sold off back to those who already owned them. I saw swingeing increases in VAT while North Sea oil revenues paid for tax cuts for the rich. I saw the numbers on benefits increase from 2 miilions to 6 millions, again all paid for through North Sea oil & gas revenues and seen as "a price worth paying". I've seen grown men reduced to tears because they couldn't provide for their families. I saw the gap between rich and poor widen dramatically. I saw schoold fall into disrepair while their sports fields were sold off. I saw patients lined in corridors because there wasn't sufficient space in wards to treat them properly.

Don't even begin to tell ME that I'm brainwashed sunshine

"British people's wealth" is an empty and misleading expression.
It could mean that everyone is better off or it could mean that nearly everyone is starving but a tiny minority of unbelievably wealthy.

The fact is that, under Thatcher (of whom we are speaking), the poor got poorer for the first time in over a century.
"One of the better legacies"?
Leave it out.

I should have watched the BBC this morning then. Susanna Reid is gorgeous !!!

Susannah Roedean?
As thick as porcine manure and can barely string together a coherent sentence.
The only reason I can think of for her being a presenter is that someone is holding out hopes of getting into her knickers.

Intresting thread

Ok. Point taken.

You are a scumbag then.

yet give you a ballot paper and this is what you vote for. dry your crocodile tears. go and ask the nhs that you vote to privatise if they'll fit a backbone for you.

I never voted for "this", whatever "this" means. I've never voted tory, nor will I ever
