I'm sorry, but I hate this retconning of the likes of Kenneth Clarke as somehow a better Tory.

He served in the cabinet under Thatcher.

He was happy to serve under Thatcher.

Let that sink in.

He was a better class of Tory. He may have been a c**t but he’s a c**t who could string a sentence together to explain his beliefs and at least believed in the principles of Parliament.

I'm generally aligned with your worldview @shmmeee ... but seriously, "a better class of Tory"?

How low can you go?
Death row
What a worker know

I despise everything Thatcher stood for, but even she had some qualities.

Now, we've got a warmed up version of Thatcherism but delivered by people who you wouldn't be surprised to see eating crayons.

It’s shocking how awful the government is. Even more shocking is that the only people they have to replace them are equally if not even more awful. The Tories need wiping out at the next GE if only so they can start from a clean sheet. There’s not one that you would trust to babysit your children.

More retconning.

She was a strong leader. Such a shame that personality was allayed to the most godawful snobbish economic policy.

Its like a deep fake, when they take the face of someone from Coventry Labour and graft it on to a Tory.

It leaves people wondering if its great special effects or just people chasing power at everyone's else expense.

Anyway, 4th day in ICU and I am so bored.

Things go up, things go down.

Lungs this time.

Still got two!

They reckon they've fixed me this time rather than just doing running repairs.

Going to get to respiratory today if there's a bed free and then out in a day or two.

Good luck with it. Wish you a speedy recoveey

Actually had a science education as well. Say what you like about Thatcher and her mental economic beliefs, she wouldn’t fall for the conspiracy nut nonsense that fills the current Tory Party.

Sure Start did more for feminism than any number of women PMs.

Girlboss liberal feminism is a con perpetuated by the patriarchy to ensure female liberation happens on men’s terms. Discuss.

I mean real change to society Shmmeee. Not knocking sure start, it is/was a nobel effort but that is superficial to what Thatcher achieved with Women's Rights.

Don't get me wrong Jam See, the tories of the 80' put through some terrible stuff. For example section 28 etc.

Thatcher though got the equality issue between the sexes and freed up half the nation literally from servitude.

Just feel obliged to point out that not having a science education doesn't make you a conspiracy theorist any more than having one - being a nutter makes you a conspiracy theorist!

Not strictly politics but after reading got to put it somewhere.
Makes you want to weep .
Slightly late with the story.

Get well soon.

Keep us updated on your progress, preferably with some sort of graph.

But hopefully not this one.

Werid thing is I am going to need a few months before I become fighting fit again so I might as well start testing out home advantage on Elo and Glicko-2 and posts the results for all to see.

I have the correct settings

All the other stuff will be up to date hopefully by next weekend.

Got a busy few weeks ahead of myself when I get back.
