Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Originally posted by Moscow Mule View PostI wonder if it's only people/families who were adversely affected by Thatcherite policies that hate the conservatives?
I looked further than "me", understood why those policies had to happen, and got on with it. Nobody owed me a living.
As a former Young Socialist, the mid-eighties was when I grew up, and realised what a lot of bollocks and hot air much of socialism is.Comment

Originally posted by expat View PostI am not drawn to them at all. Repelled, more. I am tempted to give them a protest vote, because of my growing distaste for Labour, in particular New Labour. But in my rational moments I do not see how I could ever vote for the Tories, at least not if they don't repudiate Thatcher.
If OTOH they are and remain the party of Thatcher, they can never get my vote.
Edit: I am in favour of libertarianism and democracy; fiscal conservatism and spending where needed; small government but concerned and humane government; business sense and community intervention: I do not see those in CON any more than in LAB.
Everything you say is just pure thought out, considered, sense.
