she didnt decide to spend us out of a recession she didnt decide to send us into 2 wars that had nothing to do with us she was the one who infact cleaned up the mess after THE LAST LABOUR GOVERNMENT
Subjekt: Re:why must you always lay the blame on Maggie?
Snoopy: I was referring to the expenses scandal, and that does go back to Maggie's gov, as it was then the rules were changed to make it easier for the MP's to con the system.
As to this recession.. yes, there is some blame as to this crises. The guzumping (sp) that went on back then pushed house prices through the roof, the attitude that destroyed much of our community spirit came from her era. .... As to the spending... As much as it has cost us, the likes of banks who have screwed up ..eg RBS and them going under would have cost more in the long run, I know it was the RBS's bosses fault on buying a bank without a detailed accounts to be able to see if they were worth it, but it was all those reliant on that bank for their retirement funds that would have suffered.
.. As to the two wars... Yes I agree on Iraq, that's why I'm glad there is in progress a full inquiry, but as to Afghanistan... Although the Taliban were as much our creation (as in the west re Russia's occupation) the possible deaths that could occur from that country training terrorist cells, the related killings of their own people and the poppy farms that give rise to so much heroin production ... My main 'rag' is that the troops sent to Iraq could have gone to Afghanistan and that war could have been almost over by now.
Maggie may have sorted out some matters... but she created so many new ones, she only got elected the second time due to the Falklands war victory. In many respects, she's one of the most hated PM's of the 20th century.
