what I think of the tories

Says it all!!!

Happy New Year

Well here it is... My hundredth post!
Can I take this opportunity to wish my friends (of which I hope are plenty), enemies (of which I hope are few), my readers (or reader!!) of my blog a happy and prosperous 2010.
Here's to an historic fourth term for Labour, let's ensure we do not return to the bad old days of the Tories!!
I must be getting old. For the first time in several years I am not going out to celebrate the new year.
Either getting old or turning into a miserable old so and so!!

Thatcher- even more extreme

The release of cabinet minutes from 1979 under the 30 year rule give us an interesting- but frightening- insight into the mind of Margaret Thatcher.
It is clear from the minutes released that Thatcher was a bully- she ruled her cabinet with an iron fist-and her ministers were scared of her.
One particular aspect that is particularly worrying to me is her attitude at that time towards the poor Vietnamese boat people.
She is minuted as saying their entry into this country should be resisted, and that immigrants were flooding the country, and they were getting houses in this country at the expense of British white people.
I fear the insidious BNP will try to make a lot of mileage out of this particular spouting by Thatcher.

Merry Christmas from Scouseboy

Well, we have got the seasonal weather we all sing about in the songs.
Can I wish everybody who reads this blog a merry Christmas to you and your families.
May 2010 be as happy and prosperous as you could wish for.
And here's to another Labour victory in the 2010 General Election.

Weird Weather!

I was watching a blizzard like snowstorm this morning- then saw something I do not ever recall hearing or seeing at this time of the year- thunder and lightning!
In all of my 53 years I have inhabited this earth, I cannot recall thunder and lightning other than in humid wet conditions.
I definitely do not ever recall experiencing it in the freezing cold of winter.
Weird weather indeed!!
