The mess was created by the 60s Wison Gov(cap in hand to the IMF)
Heath and Callgahan tried to fix it but with the Oil Crises(DA JAU VAU) had little luck.
Thatcher did with a lot of pain,but she did, This country was great again by1985 for the first time in 24 years

Other than Winston Churchill, what other PM#s have been given a state funeral? Where will it end, and who will be paying for it? Oh yes, the tax payer
Gladston , Wellington , Desrialy(sp) , Fox, Churchill.
Think she was at least as great as them.

My admiration is not only for Baroness Thatcher from a political point of view, but also as a loud out spoken feminist!
I'm back!!!
Oh I really like that statement Lorna! They are reknown for borrowing up to the hilt, getting the Country into such a monetory state that we end up owing more than we own, that's just typical of them, and the next Govt (usually the Conservatives) have to seem all bad for trying to build up the economy once more. They like it in the bank like I do, not spend, spend, spend (well, unless it's shoes of course!).
On the 10 o'clock news last night, I couldn't believe my ears, when the political editor was at Downing street after a big meeting that had been going on between the Treasury and Brown, and apparently
they needed more money, and they can't put anything else up because there are bi-elections coming up, and they don't want to look any dumber than they already do so, what do they do in their infinite wisdom???? They decide to "re-write" the rules on our borrowing (because we have actually borrowed more than we are allowed!!!), SO, the answer is, you just re-write the rules about how much you can borrow and Bob's your Uncle, you can borrow more! If it wasn't so worrying it would be quite laughable wouldn't it!!! How come we can't do that at OUR banks then!!!!
I was speechless - for once!
