ive learnt to keep a silent but active approach when it comes to politics, however after hearing today they may ring big ben for all the years shes been alive is becoming a bit too much for my tummy to handle.
I don't blindly make comments without good reason, ive lived through the Thatcher years. not able to get a real job after leaving school mainly because the posts available was for YTS ( and I did those for 2 years).
watch my dad have lose his house through repossession because he couldn't find work fast enough to keep it. and throughout these past 15 years cared for my mother when my dad died who was disabled as well as my wife who again is also disabled.
... and what does this government do to help ? , badge me as a scrounger because i haven't got the time or the energy to manage to hold down a job at the same time.
and the icing on the cake will be my wife having to attend yet another ATOS interview in case shes made a miracle recovery that shes not informed them about.
rant over, sorry.
Factors involved in the 'standard of living' of an individual at a certain point or points in time may include the Government and its legislation of that time
To believe that this is the only, or even most important factor, is rather naive
I'm not sure which one I come under as I know what an economic policy is and lived through 5 years of her reign, but I wasn't really old enough to know whether I did well or badly under Thatcher's policies.There seem to be four distinct groups of people voicing their opinion at the min.
Did well under Thatcher's economic policies.
Did badly under Thatcher's economic policies.
What is an economic policy?
Wasn't even born.
Me too... Ugh.TBH I only fell under her reign while an adult for a few short years, so I base my opinion on how my mum was treated. That was bad, I wont lie I am anti Conservative solely for that. A short sighted belief but hey, aren't they all. Unfortunately I still have the sour taste of voting in Tony Blair in my mouth, so can't really say much.
She stole my milk!
She did none of the "major achievements" that she's being credited with these past two weeks. She just happened to be in the chair when they happened. I move!.................
We are now
I always wonder when a politico describes himself as a 'conviction politician' - you just know that the clip will be used by some joker when they finally catch him...That's a shame. I was really hoping his reputation would be protected to some degree at least until any conviction
