Current Affairs The Conservative Party

[mill]

She was evil and an absolute disgrace but having a small business doesn't mean you're middle class. Loads of working class people have businesses.

She was the very definition of middle class.

Her father owned 2 shops. He employed people.

He was an alderman, a justice of the peace, president of chamber of trade, president of rotary

let’s not make out her dad was down the mines and she went to school with no shoes, yeah.

Thatcher just wasn’t working class:

n 1927 Roberts was elected to the Grantham town council as an independent. He was also a part-time Justice of the Peace, president of the Chamber of Trade, President of Rotary, a director of the Grantham Building Society and the Trustee Savings Bank, chairman of the local National Savings Movement, a governor of the local boys' and girls' grammar schools and chairman of the Workers' Educational Association. During the Second World War he was Chief Welfare Officer, directing civil defence.[3]: 12  He soon became Chairman of the Finance and Rating Committee, and in 1943 was elected by the council as Alderman; he served as Mayor of Grantham from November 1945 to 1946, in which he presided over the town's victory celebrations.

Oh.. absolutely nothing in that says they were middle class

 

[mill]

Oh.. absolutely nothing in that says they were middle class

Everything about that screams middle class mate. Do you even know the definition? Do you know how big the middle classes are?

 

[mill]

This has jumped the shark now. Imagine making out that thatcher is working class.

for absolute [Poor language removed] sake.

More Ronnie Barker than Corbett for sure.

More Ronnie Barker than Corbett for sure.

Exactly.

 

[Shevin Keedy]

I know it's not as simple as this, but you could build a decent amount of basic housing for £2m.

I can't help but think that this is an ill informed ploy to appease Liverpool.

Appease pease me oh yeah, like I pease you.

Thats probably on the way to middle class. Regardless of class she was a disgrace.

I predicted this outcome, but I didn't predict 0 points, which is a slap in the face. I'm going to speak to Citizens Advice and see where it takes me. I will get them to help me with my PIP application, too. I may as well also apply for JSA seeing as I am apparantly fit to work.

It's easy to give up but it's exactly what they want. I'm determined to get every penny off them now, whereas I would have been satisfied with ESA until I am able to work again.

The wording of the application and assessment is horrible. The attitude that they portray is that unless you're in a near vegetative state then you're on your own.

You can apply for JSA and fill in a sick form which will give you time to receive money without having to look for work.

JSA28 it is. This was the process last time I worked there about four years ago so it may be different now.

[Cork Evertonian]

If you look at his voting record then you will see that the man was a bigot.

He was a human being, who had the right to live his life, without being violently murdered. I have friends and family who are gay btw. Your posts are dragging the LGBTQ+ community through the mud. I support both gay rights, and a human beings right to life. It's a pity that seems beyond your limited capabilities.

 

[gonetomorrow]

Oh no! The brewery is overrun with big rats!

 

[Charro]

5 years ago I would have never contemplated it but there seems very little difference between the two parties these days if the Tories start to move more to the centre and stop ripping off the working class.

I'll await Sir Keir's updated manifesto before deciding what's in the best interests of ol' FB92

Having seen what you want from a political party I’m not sure what the tories offer somebody like yourself?

They’re so called big spending will leave the majority of people in the country out of pocket as the cost of living continues to rise.

 

[Chewbacca]

Rather than debating if Thatcher was working or middle class could we rather debate whether she was a human being ?
