          Don't let the facts get in the way of your fanboy adoration but, when education secretary Mrs Thatcher closed more grammar schools than Barbara Castle ever did. Care to comment on that?
          The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

          But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

              Can't be bothered to read the thread, but a big WHS to the DodgyAgent. Every contractor has a lot to thank Baroness Thatcher for.




              And some contractors have Gordon Brown and his profligate public sector IT spending to thank....
              Cats are evil.

                Thatcher/Major made Britain great again. Blair/Brown have undone all her good work

                  That may be true. I think you will also find that Thatcher closed more grammar schools than Roy Castle ever did either. You are clutching at straws. You are a direct beneficiary of Thatcherism whether you like it or not, yet you vilify her. care to comment on that?

                  No of course not, just like NickFitz, Alfw and all the rest of you the pathetic little hypocrites the best you can do is to trash her from at best the benefit of hindsight and from spin.

                      Example in Doncaster, there were two grammar schools I know of that went comprehensive under Thatcher, truth is they were grammar schools in name only, they already were being run comprehensive. One of them combined with two secondary moderns some time before the name change for example. That pattern repeats across the country.

                      So the argument saying Thatcher closed lots more grammar schools is specious.
                      Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.
