Politics, politics, politics (so long and thanks for all the fish)

I was 8 years old when Thatcher left office, although most of that time wasn't spent in the UK (i was also born abroad). I think its pretty well established and agreed that Thatcher presided over probably the biggest economic and societal change the country had seen since the industrial revolution. She closed down traditional British industry and focused growth in services. Whether what she did was a good thing is obviously still a matter of fierce debate. My parents can't stand Thatcher: Dad's been a pretty much life long member of the Labour Party and Fabian Society so definitely didn't learn it from them

Yes indeed, a topic of fierce debate. I was a teenager. I remember it very, very well. I agree with what you've said in this post 100%. As you said (and to repeat myself LOL) this is a topic of fierce debate, and probably best left alone here (at least for the time being ). Thanks for answering BTW, I was genuinely interested as I think it is an important factor with regards to how one might hold their opinion.

and Net Zero and Illegals and we're quids in !!

Have you ever met an Illegal? Do you know what they look like?

My uncle was an Illegal. He was a WASP. He was a Desert Storm war hero. He could have been an EDL poster boy. He fell in love. He overstayed his tourist visit. He spent a decade working bloody hard in black market roles. Fixing you car. Doing your gardening. One day his heart seemed a bit funny. He wouldnt let anyone call an ambulance or take him to hospital, because he knew he'd be arrested. The next day he died of a heart attack.

That's what Illegals look like.
