Thatcher sold off council houses, a bedrock of how things had worked, for quick gain & without a care for the long term consequences.
Boris is doing the same with political integrity, dispensing with it to get around his lies but this will have long term impact after heβs gone.
We had low turnout & engagement rates as it was but he is doing real damage and I truly fear for democracy in this country (as well as so much else) If people donβt trust their politicians and we all finally realise there are NO decent systems to keep them in check, then what?
As an aside I hear in the news that several football clubs want to breakaway and form a super league. This isnβt to please the in the fans to enrich the owners. This country, under Thatcher, reduced everything to money, nothing else at all mattered.
Project fear - a media friendly term which at one stroke, mocked the expertise of those at many of the coal faces of Brexit and dismissed it with a sneer. Yet, just 9 days in, it looks very much like project fear predictions were true and should have been heeded.
Today, on Valentineβs Day, Iβd like to talk about a different love, the love of grandparents as today my grandmother is being buried in Normandie. She didnβt want a fuss , so Iβm not going, but Iβd like to share a little of her, she was one of the most wonderful people Iβve known
She would have been 95 this year and until a few months ago lived independently, still growing most of her own vegetables, cooking for herself and looking after her beautiful garden.
She was the most loving, kind and happy woman and made you feel important and loved.
Despite the pain from arthritis she hand knitted the most wonderful baby cardigans for each of her great grand children.
She gave birth to five children of her own but sadly 2 died in infancy.
