Ahavati said:I was quite fond of Thatcher myself.
Up until 1980, there was the general belief that 'we all rise togther after the horrors and sacrifices of two world wars'.
Then Thatcher came along and smashed the social contract between the governed and those who govern - set man against man - spouting "there is no alternative" and quoting neo-liberal-plucked-from-obscurity-economists Friedrich Hayek & Milton Friedman to support her argument - and went against the warnings what would happen - and 40 years later we see the dismal results with nearly 3,000 food-banks (up from zero in 1990s), etc, etc.

Your point being. . .?
I agree with the above quote I posted in reference to the patriarchy.
*Reminder - this is a quote not a debate thread.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak outābecause I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak outābecause I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak outābecause I was not a Jew.
Then they came for meāand there was no one left to speak for me.
āMartin Niemƶller
Is this what we are going to expect for the next four years.. wow

O.K; so it's not good form to respond to anything people post on this thread, then.
I didn't say anything about responding, Josh. I said debating. Many do respond; however, they also post a quote. Without a quote from yourself, it looks like you are debating my statement in reference to the quote I posted.
