NL just kept it going and going whilst claiming to have eliminated all risk. Yeah right.
So another Maggie would be totally pointless in this context as her policies ultimately led us to this disaster.Comment

Maggie deregulation stopping market inefficiencies - until BT privatised you had to wait months for a phone line. But it was fine as she balanced the budget.
It was that idiot Lamont who wrecked everything......Comment

Well privatisation may have given us some benefits it isn't really related to the point in question - deregulating the personal finance arena has created this recession and was an inevitability.Comment

If you believe that society (the state) owes you a living then you vote labour.
I am not sure we need another Maggie just yet, but we will one day with the state taking over more and more of our lives (the banking sector, rising taxes, incompetent Labour government).
Although I am not one of these little hypocrites constantly criticise the woman that made the reforms from which they have so profited, I do at least appreciate her achievements according to the context of the situation as it was then.
It annoys me that these revolting little hypocrites (Shimano) will attach any tenuous problem to Maggie just to hide their hypocrisy.
My own opinion with regards to Maggie is that I liked what sho stood for and I admired her courage. However the country should never have needed someone like her in the first place. So you liily livered little "oh so caring" hypocrites who not only want to greedily keep hold of your personal wealth, whilst at the same time keeping your consciences clear, go off and vote liberal or NL, then when we get another Maggie you can blame only yourselves.Last edited by DodgyAgent; 24 November 2008, 15:27.Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment
