She’s from Lincolnshire and grew up in a flat above a grocers shop, and went to a fee paying girls school thanks to winning a scholarship. Hardly ‘home counties privileged background’. In fact, the shining example of someone from a humble background rising to the very top through hard work and determination. I disagree with Mrs Thatcher on several issues, but I would not accuse her of being bigoted, scared of hard work or opposed to meritocracy.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument?

I didn't think it was possible, but every day I have a lower opinion of you.Originally posted by Tarquin Farquhar View PostShe was bigoted against the poor, then less fortunate, people from outside her cosy SE England area, and anyone who wasn't "our kind of people". She ruined the country for everyone except her rich friends."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip?

She exposed the myth that socialism was virtuous. And I am afraid that you ARE a champagne socialist. Just as she married a wealthy businessman so have you become wealthy.. ironically because of the reforms that she made.Originally posted by Tarquin Farquhar View PostI know that and I didn't say otherwise.
