Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyone -
Maybe the problem is that BennO does not remember the Labour Government that was in place before Thatcher came to power. They caused just as much of a financial shambles as they have this time and someone had to put it right. Some of the decisions that were made at the time seemed harsh but they were absolutely necessary to get the country back on its feet. Which is exactly what will have to happen when we get rid of this shower that are in now.Comment

John Maynard Keynes is your man.
Grade A Economics A level BTW.
Friedman's policies of monetarism have been proved to be flawed.
No point explaining as your head is too far up maggie's arse to try to understand.Comment

I have to work to live so I am working class. I have no moral high ground. I'm just thankful that I have the opportunity to work should I wish. Something that many people had taken away from them in the eighties.Comment

What "working class" job do you do? If so can you please come and empty my bins PDQ
And at least I have made economic arguments to explain why Thatcher "destroyed" the livelihoods of so many. You say she was wrong but offer no explanation as to why.Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment

The models may be flawed as may the policies, but you have to start somewhere and I am with the Tories rather than Labour on how to do it.
Sure there is nothing wrong with dividing the pie more evenly a la Labour, but I have to go with increasing the size of the pie so everybodies share is bigger a la Tory. The problem is NL dont want the biggest pieces being so much bigger than the smallest.I am not qualified to give the above advice!

That could not continue, regardless of economic theory. The country was bust and going more bust.
Instead of blaming Thatcher's government, blame those who let such a situation develop in the first place. Start with every other government from 1945 to 1979, Tories and Labour.

We'll probably never agree on economic policy, thank god, so I can't really see the point in trying to convince you. - Back to the original point of the argument - I still find it interesting that you are all still willing to give praise to thatcher for dragging Britain out of the doldrums yet totally absolve her of any blame for the social problems she caused along the way.
I suppose it's hard to see when you've got your head stuck so far up someone's arse.
