David Cameron Says

[the-e-dealer]

At the Funeral of Mrs T he said "We are are Thatcherites now" What on Earth did he mean ?

David Cameron says... Please can I wear a curly blonde wig and carry a handbag, no say his spin doctors, we're all Blairites now. Just smile and talk b*ll*cks.

Prescott once said 'we're all middle class now' but he might have been grinning/grimacing

I suppose the 'we' is the political establishment... the ones who filled St Paul's yesterday

He meant that we are still living with the Legacy that Thatcher left us.

That's probably true to some extent for every ruler since caligula.

Can we think of some who had no impact whatsoever, that's the harder trick?

-- claudius then, caligula opted for some horse shagging instead or something, oops --

Callaghan? or Little Johny Major.

Strange that the majority of the Present Concervative Party saying how marvelous she was..

..Whilst many of the Thatcher cabinet disagreed with her. They lost their jobs..

Fox.

John Major, we have peace in Northern Ireland.

Blair just finished the job.

We can probably thank his attempts at keeping us in the ERM for us not being in the euro too!

[El Pibe]

Callaghan...tricky.

Probably he bequeathed us Thatcher....and the rest is as they say.....

and thinking about it, given the electorate's reluctance to go labour after his term, I'd say Blair was a direct result of his premiership.

Admittedly small pickings, sort of legacy through omission.

Good Friday Agreement?

Gordon Brown certainly left an indelible mark as chancellor, I'm struggling to think of much of a legacy in terms of his premiership.

Bigotgate....erm no, can't think of anything.

I think he meant that all the major parties in the UK now follow a Thatcherite line in their policies. And he'd be right.

I s'pose GB'd argue that he saved the world financial system with his interventions and the conferences of world leaders he arranged back in 2008/9 ????
