Welcome to Thatcher’s Britain (Mk.2)

David-Cameron--007

 

 

 

 

 

Ok, so I know that she looks a lot younger and she has changed her facial features, and her hair is shorter; oh and she has changed her name to David and she dresses as a man, but trust me Margaret Thatcher is back as the UK’s Prime Minister.

The UK’s transport system is going to pot, riots are breaking out in London….. with more to come. The weather is causing chaos so another Winter of Discontent is on the way.

Margaret’s answer to all of our woes is of course to make sure he and his friends in the banking world are OK; as Lord Young said “we’ve never had so good”.

So with mass redundancies in the public sector, creaking railways, an under funded NHS, rioting students and bike sales rising due to job-seekers commuting we can all rest easy because the bankers will be getting their huge bonuses to keep the Porsche garages busy.

Margaret’s first reign completely wiped out an industry and a swathe of Northern communities died, so what’s going to happen 30 years later in her second term? The mines have gone, most other industry has gone, replaced by Public Sector call centres and government departments that moved out of London.

Just maybe those people who thought Margaret had changed will soon see that she only ever looks after her own……….
