Hi Marged, Now I never discuss politics ....... > Sorry - I never EVER thought Maggie was necessary. She is a jumped up, arrogant > upstart. Yes ..... But when Maggie first came to power ...... there was a need for somebody strong to get things sorted, just as Winston C during the last war ( World that is ). "Get the job done mate" as an old boss used to say. But they all outlive their support at some point , maybe "the grass is greener" syndrome, or here's my back please stab it? "Horses for courses" is what I say. Blair was elected - now we all complain - see what I mean ? Might as well elect a brick wall and have firing squads use it for target practice ... My personal beliefs don't come into it. Just elect somebody , then tear them to pieces. I like Bill Clinton , maybe his wife wears the trousers ( probably safer ) ......... She'll be up for president in four years, I reckon. I liked John Major , would have preferred Douglas Hird ( clever guy - young wife ). And I remember voting for Harold Wilson once ........ > Read an obit in the Independent today for Wedgie Benn's wife, who died recently. > There was a quotation from what he wrote at the time when he was lobbying for > Comprehensive Education.

Dave , The Tories have always divided the people and then got on with making themselves millionaires, sleazier and sleazier, I will NEVER forgive them for what they did to those mining communities and the lies McGregor and that mad bag lady told over how many pits they wanted to close.

Hi Marge, YOUR saying what I have always thought on these two people, there was an interview with tony Benn on a web page I found myself on the other week and it was brilliant, might have been Labour.com but cant be sure, reading that will really open anyones eyes as to what is going on in the world.

Wedgie Benn the greatest Prime Minister we didn't get. Politicians nowadays scrabble about for a peerage he rejected one (Lord Stansgate) to do a politicians job. As everywhere in the world honesty and integrity gets a politician nowhere.
