Originally posted by vetran View PostShe married a man who she clearly loved deeply and who returned the feelings. He made his money running the family business with 200 employees not by taking dodgy donations from non doms.
He was a member of Castrol of and later Burmah Oil's board and had a distinguished war record. I can't imagine him wanting to be in the same town let alone room as Lord Mandy.
At no time throughout Margaret's career was he caught freeloading or encoraging his wife to use their children as political pawns. As far as I know he never shared his shower with Carole Caplin or help sex up a dossier so we could start an illegal war. He didn't make his fortune by exploiting Human rights laws passed by his spouse. Or create a false boom by holding hard working families wages down by importing and exploiting cheap labour.
Frankly he was a million times better than the current lot of ministerial hopefuls or spouses despite an alleged liking for the odd G&T and some personal views which he tried to avoid uttering in public out of respect for his wife.
Brown was shown to be a two faced slimeball 'I have talked to Gillian' ffs. Clearly not suitable for any type of office.
The lady who bungled her heartfelt question was only guilty of 'being unaccustomed to public speaking' and will probably shortly be viciously smeared like Rose Addis was.
Tarkers if New Lie have created such a paradise why haven't you popped back to pay for it??? There are ministerial Zil lanes and you know only honourable ex minsters will serve on the big companies in future as they are 'all for hire' even before leaving office.

Oh it'll be worse. Far far worse.Originally posted by Gonzo View PostFFS. Are you lot going to stop arguing about the nineteen eighties and start dealing with the rather more pressing issue of the immediate future?
EDIT: Having said that, the immediate future is going to be a lot like the early nineteen eighties, or the late seventies, depending on the outcome next Thursday.

I know we shouldn't feed the troll, but it's just plain fun...Other than hearing northern and socialist students say this, what's your evidence?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.
How dare she marry someone wealthy, what hypocrisy!Originally posted by Tarquin Farquhar View PostI know that and I didn't say otherwise. But whe she married wealthy "businessman" (what?) Dennis she joined the rich and started thinking only of them.

No but you are still richOriginally posted by Tarquin Farquhar View PostLike what? I mean, just supposing that I had been in the UK, what did she do that would have made me wealthy?
BTW I didn't marry a wealthy businessman, as she did.
