She and Hughie Green- together again. Rupert on the way to join them, asbestos luggage already packed.
Cheese, an insight into why the late Baroness Thatcher, LG OM PC FRS and her policies so polarised the country can be gauged by listening to http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b036y7ws/episodes/guide, which, with the help of politicians active at the time paint a picture of the country and thoughts of the people throughout the country during the late '70s to the late '80s.

Was a figure of £8M not bandied about at the time? Maybe the shortfall was made up by by her fan base...no wait a minute, this was a case of public spending they were more than happy with.

There may be more posts after this.
And Tony Blair won three as well, might be a pattern emerging here.

At the end of the day, would it be politically tolerable to ask the question: Who was better/worse, Blair or Thatcher ? I see Blair as a highly professional politician, one of the best in recent times. The question remains, is it better to profoundly change a country, often for the worse, or float smiling with the waves for twelve years, happily endorsing GWB's lies ?
Float smiling through your terms in office and pick up a rather good living on the rubber chicken circuit, collect loads for advising people and when push comes to shove admit you were wrong and hope for Beatification or at the very least forgiveness from those who profited from your period in power.

That's what I like about Dave- you can see him coming a mile away, blushing with guilt. Margaret Hilda had one true son and heir and that's Tony Blah. He was (and is) the Erasmus of Spin to Dave's Local Borough fib peddler. Tony would make a great Conservative Prime Minister, get him a safe seat and Bob's your uncle.
Adolf Hitler had the support and was worshipped by the German public during the 1930s. It is the skill of the most successful politicians to sell their policies and those that succeed the most are usually the most fanatical. In a politician or any human being, fanaticism isn't a great human trait. It usually results in the realisation, too late, that the person with all the power is in fact an insane monster.
The above argument is just the process, it isn't the outcome.

She had one more ball than Adolf!

Thanks heaven this is not true. Otherwise much of Europe would be governed by people like Jean-Marie Le Pen, Vladimir Jirinovski or Nick Griffin.
And Hitler took power as a response to the general situation in Europe at the time, not only thanks to his own narcissic personality. IMO let's not take the aforementioned comparison Thatcher/Hitler too seriously.

As I read it it was not comparing Thatcher to Hitler, it was pointing out the similarities in their initial phase in power.
Anyway Thatcher never made the trains run on time ... er ... O.K. that was Mussolini, not Hitler - easy mistake to make.

They did under Mussolini, reputedly.

Meanwhile, the burial of Richard III looks like it should squeak in at a downright reasonable £1M.

And two more than Cameron.
Or possibly not.
