From the comments section:
"I'm all for the public shaming of people who do horrible things to others. Shaming doesn't just affect the person shamed, it lets people in similar positions (politicians in this case) understand exactly what resentment can fester, even over generations, against them.
Shame on anybody who takes milk away from hungry children. Shame on people who use divisive innuendo just so they can silence people who stand against them. Shame on people who send people to war, to line the pockets of the rich."
I resemble that remark.

(1,727 posts)However, the sad thing is that if you look at Thatcher's policies position by position, she actually stood considerably to the left of the President and many other so-called Democratic party politicians who are currently in office.

It's ridiculous to assert that Thatcher was "considerably left" of anyone.

(22,541 posts)the enemy within. It's true the miners were the left of the left. I am proud of that heritage. The enemy are the Thatchers of this world and those who went before her, who took everything away from the people. There's no love for Maggie in Wales, or in Cornwall or in Scotland or in The Republic of Ireland, I can tell you that. Nor should there be.
