All this nonsense about manufacturing when it was the IT industry that grew phenomenally out of Thatcherism . All this "bulls**t hypocrisy about "poor people losing their jobs" is quite grotesque coming from a group of people making hundreds of thousands of pounds a year and enriching themselves to build IT systems that above all else remove the need to use people in jobs.Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment

So anyway there you have it, Thatcher's legacy:
A 2nd rate bankrupt nation with close to 100% debt/GDP ratio, a small but all-powerful oligarchy, a hollowed out middle class and an intractable underclass with a huge welfare bill.
So bad in fact that many want to vote for a 4th rate party led by someone called Nigel, whose economic policies would perform the final coup-de-grace on its economyHard Brexit now!

You couldn't make it up. Honestly.
