Bring back Maggie

[deano]

Yes, the milk stealing was unforgivable wasn't it?

I mean, I can't walk out of my house without tripping over a beggar with rickets. There are millions of them, all bandy-legged, laying where they fall.

Vast swathes of humanity, all with knock-knees and other skeletal deformities, collapsing from greenstick fractures.

I'm looking out of my window now and I can see herds of the pitiful creatures.

They need her to put them out of their misery.

Only 1 little problem, Monetarism caused this mess and Hilda was a rabid Monetarist.

The milk was 'stolen' to pay for 6 schools.

It didnt stop you gorging yourself at the trough

As much as it sickens me to my core, I agree with Bagpuss. Monetarism has led to the big fat mess our country is in. Still, at least we can comfort ourselves with knowing that Gordon Brown has put on his wizard's hat and come up with lowering VAT and upping income tax! It's that sort of "out of the box" thinking that separates us from lesser breeds, etc.

I don't look at the world in Black and White. There are good and bad policies both inter and intra political parties.

No it hasnt, it is the execution of monetarism that has got us in this mess. The govt should have controlled the banks more effectively. Instead they encouraged and mimicked the banks in order that they could get their grubby hands on more money and power

It's a system that greedy gits thrive on, until the trough's worn bare. And that's where we are.
