1) i do believe that the middle Thatcher years were supreme - ( i am 34) - i remember when she was ousted and thinking - goodness - a MAN is walking into 10 Downing Street in charge.
The Iron Lady stood in many ways for what WAS British.
2) - I am disgusted that Scotland should be able to in effect remove itself from Britain. I hate the fact that we have a Scottish Prime Minister and Defence Secretary, however - i DO feel that the Scots are our brothern, much more so than they do us. We are all part of the UNITED KINGDOM and that should never be forgotten. I know i contradict myself in that answer (ie not liking that we are governed by a Scot, but I would prefer it that way and remain UK than in effect have dilution of our country.
However, if the SNP do end up 'owning' Scotland and governing themselves then so be it. - I believe there should not just be a vote in Scotland on this subject i believe all the UK should be in the vote - and i would vote NOT to allow further devolution. BUT, if it comes - fine - but there should be NO - ZERO - NIL - public money collected ANYWHERE else in the UK goint into Scotland. Both the SNP and PC in Wales seem to forget that without tax collected in England they would have almost no income. Unless all of a sudden the tourist money they collect has taken a marked upturn that i am not aware of.
3) - ref Qutoing dangerous world - yes - LOL - no pun intended....

Thatcher was a strong leader but a terrible bitch. Hopefully she'll be dead soon.
You are deluded if you think cameron is going to change anything. We are facing a global recession. That's not brown's fault - what IS his fault is all the credit he took when things were going well. 'no more boom and bust,' all that bollocks. It meant he can't now shift the blame for the shitty times onto someone else, no matter how unfair that is. And he's been pisspoor as a leader, too.
And anyway, the days of thatcher vs kinnock, of proper ideological separation between the parties, are long gone. Cameron is very much like blair, as a character and an ideologue. He'll be the next PM, not because he particualrly deserves it or would be much good, but because he isn't labour. That's the way these days.
