They threatened Corbyn would take us back to the 70s.. But the Tories did

Speaking of the UK, an interesting film on our last attempt to enter the space race:

So you think that ideology pays the bills? Interesting.
52% of those that voted didn’t like the 'bill' they were paying. That’s democracy and has to be respected even if you are part of the remaining 48%.

The one they were falsely told was £350 million a week.

Boris and Cummings had to lie to win.

Mottie likes liars.
 
Perhaps there should be a system of reverse democracy? You know, the one where those that lose a vote are judged to be more knowledgeable than those that won. I’m sure there’ll be a few on here that would like that system.

There should be no shame in admitting you were conned.
 
America is an odd country, they are both modern and ancient at the same time.

They realise that hanging onto traditions is very important to their national identity.

The US is a fantastic country, I've visited many times and could happily live there. It's almost like a world in one country - from the frozen wastes of Alaska to the dust of Arizona, and everything in between. But someone once described The US as a third world country with money. While that's probably not true of the whole country, it could probably well describe large areas of it.
 
Thatcher etc used privatisations as a way to generate revenue which they then gave out in tax cuts which got them voted back in.

except if you privatise something, you lose public assets and make a country weak…..the UK is just a foreign owned entity with terrible public services as private companies only care about shareholders profits.

This is correct but the national industries were badly run by the pre-Thatcher governments. This is another case where both sides did wrong yet we only had the usual two sides to choose from.
