@waynelsworth@Dallocles I went to the phillipines in may i think it was just before rainy season and i literally could sit outside for about 10 mins and be drenched in sweat. Had to take a flannel to mop my brow everywhere until it rained then was fine
@spearstwit@Sargon_of_Akkad You are wrong. The government borrows to spend and then hopes that the benefits of the investment have a greater economic return than the original investment.
@EllroyLove@_whippet@AndyBurnhamGM@afneil Theyre one and the same for me, same ideology but blair was just a friendlier face of it. Worst thing is its all built on us being biggest service sector in europe and brexit has harmed that. We need to pivot imo
@tonyphatt@ChinoMerchant@AndyBurnhamGM@afneil The uniparty in action. Reform will be the same. Red meat for the flag shaggers while they continue the asset strip behind the scenes. Britain is a hollowed out husk owned by foreigners now and its heartbreaking
@EllroyLove@_whippet@AndyBurnhamGM@afneil Yeah thats my biggest gripe is thay labour carried it on with gusto. Her biggest achievement was changing labour from party of the workers to what Blair turned it into, party of red tories.
And theres not loads of social housing left. Next to none built for 30 years
@EllroyLove@_whippet@AndyBurnhamGM@afneil So much of it. The whole approach to national assets being "sell them off to the highest bidder to then run a shit service so they can maximise profits"
Selling off social housing and not replacing
Concentrating 99% investment in south east.
Etc
@EllroyLove@_whippet@AndyBurnhamGM@afneil A common reaction for the intellectually limited tbh. Its not Thatcher the person, its her legacy which us still in full swing today although people are sick of it
@ChinoMerchant@AndyBurnhamGM@afneil Becauae her model of government was adopted and has been basically how the country has been run ever since.
Sell off all national assets, cripple manufacturing, invest in richest areas with infrastructure, rest can get in bin. All so cronies at the top can get rich
