Just a short article I wrote yesterday:

uk.news.yahoo.com/thatcher-legacy-affects-us-day-142100934.html
The true measure of a man is not his intelligence or how high he rises in this freak establishment. The true measure of a man is this: how quickly he can respond to the needs of others and how much of himself he can give - Philip K. Dick.

The thatchernomics/Reaganomics along with the computer age ( no coincidence IMHO) kicked off much of what we see today.
Good article WUB.

Another one saying good little article wub.
I'd have liked a bit more though, cos.I is greedy ;)
I find it worthy of note that on the news today they went.to basildon in search of a pro thatch view. They spoke to someone who thanked her for giving her the opportunity to buy a council house.....

Then they went oop north to show the anti thatch side. In that segment you could see that the concern was for the effect on community etc.

So is it any wonder that those that think of their own gain love her and those that think of people beyond themselves loath her? Is it fuck.

Thanks for taking the time to read it everyone.

Unfortunately, there's this thing in the media called 'word counts'. Bloody inconsiderate, but unfortunately I'm not quite high status enough to get a 5,000 word expose published. That was 698 of the 700 that I'm allowed.

With regard to 'right to buy', I fully believe this was a negative thing on balance. Although a certain number of people arguably benefited from it, the most vulnerable people that need social housing today are counting the cost of it. I would say it was the archetypal Thatcherite policy; beneficial to certain individuals but had a significant social cost.

"significant" gets my vote for understatement of the day ;)

One of the most famous quotes attributed to her is that "there is no such thing as society". While this has sometimes been taken slightly out of context, the concept that her government promoted that people should put their own interests above all else - as Adam Curtis' film 'The Century of the Self' put it that "satisfying our individual feelings and desires should be our highest priority" - has changed the social fabric of the country irreversibly.
