asperity Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 There is only one service they can do the nation now. It is to stand not upon the order of their going, but go. The damage that they have done to Britain is immeasurable. Our ancestors built a land of pride and hope and confidence in the future, a land whose influence grew out of all proportion to her size, whose constitution guaranteed a balance between freedom and order which used to be the British hallmark and became a model for the world. That was the heritage they handed down to us. What would they think of Labour Britain today? - Margaret Thatcher, 13th October 1978 Plus ca change, plus ca meme chose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sha Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Asperity's quote, (edited) Our ancestors built (on the backs of the poor) a land of pride and hope and confidence in the future (for a rich few), a land whose influence grew out of all proportion to her size, (through robbing less developed nations) whose constitution guaranteed a balance between freedom (for the rich few) and order (of the masses) which used to be the British hallmark and became a model for the world. (thus the sad state of the world today) That was the heritage they handed down to us. What would they think of Labour Britain today? ( That they have added Margaret Thatcher's greedy, grasping, self-centred social culture, and continued with the objective!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trojan Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I'm looking forward to the Tories winning the next election Not because I support the Tories. I'm just wondering what Asp and Baz will get to moan about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
