Who was the greatest Thatcher Epoque Tory?

[Pickman's model]

Didn't you have a revelation not so long ago, renounce the Tory party, and become a lefty?

What happened there then?

He relapsed

 

[isvicthere?]

Keith ‘mad monk’ Joseph.

"Keith Joseph smiles and a baby dies.."

 

[Sasaferrato]

He relapsed

Well, seeing the back of Cameron was good. May? Don't know. will she grow into the job, I would like to think so. Some respite would be good. We seem to have been voting a lot lately. That said, they could defenestrate her, but as to her successor. Not Boris. I'll take bets up to £50.00 total, that Rees-Mog(g) will be the next leader. Tenacious bastard, with the soul of Hannibal Lector, very driven, ruthless I should imagine. You only get one go, I think he feels that it is his time. If I lose I will pay £50.00 to the server fund, If I win, you pay £50.00 the server fund.

Those that have been here a while, know that I always pay, and promptly.

Thatcher and Keith Joseph launching the Centre for Policy Studies in 1974.
Based on their devotion to Hayek and Friedman, they plotted the rise of the policies that still influence and cause so much inequality today.

Beasley Street seems so long ago but yet more relevant everyday.

The tories have a demography problem. Young people, who don't care about the Empire and the Cold War, don't hate, and they have been spectacularly mis-served by the party which only really exists to facilitate big business. Hopefully, this will expedite said party's demise and expiry.

Beasley Boulevard also ......

Socialist, Marxist, Maoist, Trotskyite or any other creature of the left.

My mum isn't a 'creature.'

I see Sasaferrato's little phase of pretending not to be balls deep in maggies corpse has come to an abrupt end.

So no government in the interim has been able to change those policies? You appear to have forgotten that there was a long period of Labour government, that did not change things. Could it possibly be, that outside of your little political bubble, these policies have been regarded as the best for the country as a whole, sans the ne'er do wells of the far left?

Given that you do not support any party, just fuck off. Other than a professional malcontent, I really don't see anything to you.

Really? We shall see.

No. No it couldn't

 

[JuanTwoThree]

"It breaks my heart to see (I can't interfere or do anything at my age) what is happening in our country today - this terrible strike of the best men in the world, who beat the Kaiser's army and beat Hitler's army, and never gave in. Pointless, endless. We can't afford that kind of thing. And then this growing division which the noble Lord who has just spoken mentioned, of a comparatively prosperous south, and an ailing north and midlands. That can't go on."

Has there been a Labour government?
I remember the Blair government, which in some aspects was more right wing than anything Mrs Thatcher rolled out!

No but then you can't see that you're praising the virutes of a ship that's already half-sunk and crewed with sex pests, criminals and mindless inbreds.

ResistanceMP3 presume when you say 'greatest' along with 'tory' presume you mean as the biggest Tory wanker?

Yes, I literally meant the greatest Tories. Not the ones you hated the most.

However you want to phrase it, this was some kind of class war. Their class set out to defeat our clafs. It wasn't the right of wrongs of the argument that wone out, it was strategies and tactics. The strategies and tactics that would come to my mind were;

Norman Tebbit, political correctness. I know he didn't invent the phrase, but he popularised it in the mass culture. Since then it has just took upon itself a life of its own. Many are left now subscribing to political correctness, changing the language removing the oppressive words can change the world, who want never would have.. I absolutely despise political correctness, for his role in defeating "progressives" or whatever term you want to use, people.

Also the shoehorning back into the popular consciousness racism, in another guise, cultural relativism. The idea you have to support England started with Tebbit. And it has open the doors to talk about the culture of Muslims into debt on the raise, and claim they are not racist (just sectarian).

Nicholas Ridley, because of the Ridley plan. The salami tactics of taking on the organised working class one section of the time, instead of all at once like Edward Heath did.

We took a hammering, because they were better organised. In my opinion.

Best wishes, resistance

not been an old Labour government for 38 years, and yet everything is still the fault of the left, go figure

That was a reply to Sass. I am more than aware with my family history and strife what figures.
