THE COATING OF RUST GROWS EVER THICKER

I always feel a slight coating of shame when i realise just how much i really hated thatcher.  It wasnt just milk she snatched, just about anything was likely to disappear in her metallic grasp.  starting with the kids milk which was easy but there seemed no end.Virtually the whole of Northern industry had the life squeezed out of it by the time the Iron Lady finally had to quit. and by that time there was virtually no one except the die hard psychophants to lament here passing. I always tried to remain rational about Thatcher but i really did come to hate and despise the way she treated and disrespected everyone in the Tory party. Some of the old tories were not all that bad, sure they lived in the past but many of them were certainly well to the left of B Liar when he had been in power for a few years and swiped Thatcher worshippers.

SEVERAL REVERSALS FOR THE COALITION PILE UP

First of all this year things dont look good for the Lib Dems, OK, they got into government al be it by the back door but todays figures look like those who did vote for the lib dems are pretty pissed off about their record since they did so.Apparently only a quarter of those who voted Lib Dem would vote for them again.   A coalition with a third or more of the elected members, not even in government does not look like a proper coalition at all and the reversal on government student grants was certainly a flop and gave little confidence in their loyal membership that it was going to get a. ny better

Odn top of this the last three or four governments have been talking up reform of the house of lords making imostly elected and limited to thrr hundred members.  This would have the effect of limiting the numbher of members toaround 300making the lords too small to dail with their work load
