[thread] I have an idea for a talk in slot topic @LBC @mrjamesob @AvaSantina
What does the party of Boris Johnson stand for?
It is not Conservative
It is not unionist
It is "totally fucking hopeless"
So what name should we give the party?
Now I quote Margaret

"My Britain is one where the rule of law is upheld, impartially even against the most powerful bodies in our community and where those entrusted with upholding the law, whether policemen or judges, are given respect, support and encouragement. "

"fears have been expressed that if we join the Common Market she will cease to be able to formulate her own foreign policy & will lose her separate identity. Looking at the EC at present, it doesn't appear that its separate members have lost either their identity or sovereignty."
M. Thatcher
"To enter into commercial obligations and treaties is an exercise of sovereignty, not a derogation from it. "
"To enter into commercial obligations and treaties is an exercise of sovereignty, not a derogation from it. "
"Under treaties we accept obligations which we ourselves help to formulate. Sovereignty &independence are not ends in themselves. It is no good being independent in isolation if it involves running down our economy & watching other nations outstrip us in both trade & influence."
M. Thatcher
"We want a nation with high standards of integrity, tolerance and personal responsibility."

Oh and on MAGA
M. Thatcher (1950)
"We Conservatives are not afraid to face the future whatever problem it entails, because it is our earnest desire to make Great Britain great again."
