Did they also praise him for being so rash with the economy when times were apparently good?

I don't think I've seen anyone really address this issue in any depth except by comparing now with the aftermath of WW2. Well the 10 years after WW2 were in terms of levels opf consumption available to the UK populace worse than WW2 itself. Anyone fancy a decade of austerity? Would you hang about to see it through or just beggur off to another country?
But they did create the Welfare state :j although I know that a number of people on here think that poor people should be left to die in the gutter :eek:'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers visible or invisible giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the worlds wealthiest and most prosperous people' Margaret Thatcher0 -

What's all this with Oz always being hot? 9% in Sydney, 6% in Victoria. My Aussie sister said it is always this cold at this time of year.RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.

A mate of mine lives in Grafton and has just been evacuated. It's pretty bad up there although it looks like Grafton itself will be spared lots of properties (farms etc) in the surrounding area will be destroyed as will their crops.
It's going to be 20C and raining in Sydney today. That's enough to get everyone moaning about how cold it is.0 -
