He also left the economy in a very good state only for labour to pillage and destroy.Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyone -
I think you might be right. Although he did go up in a lot of people's estimation with the Currie revelations - not quite the dull, grey man he was assumed to be.Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostI think most people have.
However, this was a solid guy, I would say thoroughly decent except for him shagging Edwina Currie, but he was completely 'un-mediafriendly', didn't bother arseing around with 'spin', and led one of the few governments that damned nearly balanced the books. He was also a proper conservative; moderate, considered, gentlemanlike, tactful, diplomatic and tough when needed.
I will quite happily declare in public that I'm a John Major fan and I think the people who did the dirty on him were a disgrace to their party and shafted the British public by willingly allowing Labour to win an election just to shove a knife in his back. Bastards.Comment
