    Funny statement about freezing recruitment to the Civil Service. In Jan 79 I joined the Civil Service, a department of the FCO and by October had gained a commission as a Communications Officer!

    Margaret Thatcher had a great deal of opposition to contend with, not least in the CPP., particularly amongst the Heathite "wets."
    Far from being "unkind" to the little darlings, I don't think she was ruthless enough.
    The revelation that Charles Moore supported Tom Tugendhat would suggest that he is still a liberal.

      The fact you refer to people who didn't believe in pure selfishness and who could see what eviscerating British industry and the working class which built it as "wets" just sums you up. Bullies. You only really know how to destroy.

      ​@@Phil-n7cAnd you are the personification of ignorance.
      I am working-class. I was born and raised on a council estate in Leeds.
      Far from epitomising "selfishness" Margaret Thatcher extolled the virtues of self-responsibility, hard work and enterprise.
      Alan Sugar said that she was 'the greatest wealth redistributer in British history." Why? Because she enabled poor people like my parents to realise the dream of owning their own home; along with over a million other former council house tenants. And, through privatisation, she created over 8 million new share owners.
      She was the personification of selflessness who extolled the virtue of the family, and working hard to improve yourself, your family and your country.
      She was a true patriot, not a faux Conservative, and that is why we voted for her, and why she won 3 successive, general elections.
      A truly inspirational leader of international stature.

      It was the militant unions who were the bullies eviscerating British industry.
      The little lady vanquished those left-wing bully boys. God bless her!​@Phil-n7c

      Such as? All the she did was thrown a third of the population under the bus and then buy off the top thirty. She left the country a meaner, deindustrialised husk dependent on spivs in the City. Look how that worked out

    He strikes me as being more of a Neo-Liberal than a Classical Liberal!
