The UK was going into the dumps before Thatcher even came along. That's why she was elected. I couldn't imagine how bad it would be if Labour hadn't been kicked out and the far-left economic approach hadn't been abandoned.
- bell-cot 3y agoTrue-ish. But "2 + 2 = 3 is false" is not an argument for "2 + 2 = 5 is true". (FWIW - I've seen arguments, in a broad range of periodicals, to the effect that the current generation of British politicians - if not the entire British ruling class - are dysfunctional sh*t, and the UK's future looks pretty bleak.)
