Being expendable is one thing; being treated like a bunch of idiots is another in my book.

Thatchers Tories were more radical than we/I could have ever imagined – radical to the point of anarchy in my view. Apolitical to their core, a smash and grab of democracy by a bunch of financial traders. I am chastened. The rot in government is worse than I thought and confirms my worse fears.
