Mrs Thatcher was universally admired and under her leadership the lending rate rose to 17%. What about that? She said it was good for savers, and so it was. But if you were buying a house you were in trouble...it was belt tightening time.

Just reading about Britain being a laughing stock...well, when didn't they laugh at us, we should just laugh back like we always do. They're only jealous. :-)

It was only incompetent in as much as it was badly received...as she said herself they didn't lay it all out as they should have done...but that's not to say it wouldn't have had the desired effect, just didn't get the chance. The financial establishment rule, don't they.

Eric...One's for when the other one's dirty. :-)

PS To which end I've just bought two extra body warmers.

I hope Liz survives because she's got guts; I liked the way she stood up to Lavrov and she's passionate in support of Ukraine..surely Liberty is the most important thing we have to guard in the present times.

Hello Eric...It's very creative in it's scope, it doesn't cost anything (except in the future pension); stay at home mums do a lot of voluntary work in the community and it encourages them to return to work at some point. All credit to Mrs T.

I've thought of one...women who leave their jobs to look after children should be allowed their National Insurance contributions.

PS Did the Conservatives ever have any Vision and Creativity? I'm trying to think of an instance?

I don't know..perhaps we get the Government we deserve. The new Government I was talking about was the new Swedish Government..that looks creative to me.

This new Government looks looks like a creative effort to reconcile differences for the common good...let's hope they manage to succeed with it. Good luck to them.

Morning Ibjj...I've never heard of MSM...what fear and lies and they spreading? I'd like to see a change in politics that wasn't defined by left or right.

The Greens? My mother used to vote for them...I'd rather vote for the Monster Raving Loony Party.

Hello Eric....I was listening to Angela Raynor's speech, well a bit of it, it was quite good for her and I was just about to start clapping (not that I was there) when I realised the achievements she was listing were all historic; in 13 years of the last labour government their one achievement was the minimum wage. And at the end of it even people from the Labour heartlands were voting Conservative. Don't know if she mentioned the freedom of the countryside act, that was a good one also historic.

I've never voted Conservative in my life but I shall never vote Labour again and I don't like the Lib Dems either.

Good! Yes, the Government makes the law not the Municipal Council. Right....hurrah, on we go then. :-)

Over here, it's looking like come back Boris all is forgiven.

But they did gain a seat on the council in Jokkmokk...leaving the majority uncertain.

Very well done and good luck to them...that feels like something to celebrate. :-)

Hopefully before we hear about the new Government, according to what I've read in the news... Ulf Kristersson has told a news conference he expects to be able to present everything on Friday.
