A few words from Margaret – 1981 – We will have to get back to these principals in Politics as well as everyday life.

‘My politics are based…on things I and millions like me were brought up with. An honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay; live within your means; put by a nest egg for a rainy day; pay your bills on time; support the police.’ (1981)

I think the bill for WW2 was £50 billion which took 50 years to pay off.

Looking at the attitude of the opposition, do they want to win? There is certainly no fight in them, with the odd exception who just happens to be on the rear seats.

I think I’ll have to send a shirt into No.10 before he rips it off my back. I could weep when I see the mess this bunch of posturing spivs have wrought in this country.

I was being cynical about 2-3 terms.
I agree it will be more like 23 terms.

It is probably worth mentioning that the loan for the war effort was only paid in full just a couple of years ago.

Now compare that with the current and future debt levels and I seriously doubt it will ever be paid off even in my onw children’s lifetimes.
