    A cliché (from French, pronounced [klɪ'ʃeɪ]), or cliche, is a saying, expression, or idea which has been overused to the point of losing its original meaning, especially when at some earlier time it was considered distinctively meaningful or novel, rendering it a stereotype. The term is likely to be used in a negative context. It is frequently used in modern culture to reference an action or idea which is expected or predictable, based on a prior event.

This country was supporting a plethora of loss making industries nad people (probably like you) were voting into power the very people who were upholding this status quo (Tory and Labour). The country went bust and the IMF were called in. Part of the deal was to close down non profitable industries of which mining and the car industry were but a few.
      The industries might have been non-profitable, but she destroyed them all with no regard for the people that worked in them.

      It astonishes me that supposedly intelligent people like you are seemingly incapable of putting anything into any sort of contemporary perspective.
      It doesn't astonish me unfortunately that people disregard the social cost of her actions and trot out a few lame cliches instead.

        Game set and match to Snaw.
        Ironically for DA, his hypothetical Labour voter would have nothing to envy about DA's education or intelligence

                I find it interesting in spite of Germany's lack of necessary reforms, the cities are clean, the transport efficient, crime is low, salaries are high, taxes are about the same as Britian, and unemployment too. You can also say the same of many European countries.
                I'm alright Jack

                    Don't say stuff like that.
                    You'll be be accused of being a treasonous, envious, socialist heretic who doesn't believe in Saint Thatcher.
