My X wife was the daughter of one of Maggie Thatchers top advisors. Through her I met
a lot of the politicians and business leaders that were around at the time. Prats !! Every
single one of them.....pompous, arrogant ass holes
. Especially Hesltine.....we don't
know how lucky we were, that he didn't become PM. Funnily enough, Maggie was OK
She was very down to earth. I really do believe that she thought that what she was doing
was best for the country. She was just very badly advised, and was surrounded by self-
serving, corrupt bastards, who were only thinking of themselves and their paymasters. My
father in law can be included in that gang....Of course she was wrong. It's because of her,
and subsequent Blairite and Tory govenments, that have championed the capitalist cause,
and their own bank balances, that we're in the mess we're in today.....IMHO. Where have
all the people of Honour gone ?? and where is the Protest Movement ?? Surely it's not being
left to people of my age
.....bit of a rant
. sorry
Also, Herbie Flowers has been a sort of neighbour of mine for many years. I've met him a few
times.....very nice guy. Very involved with the local community, and young musicians. You can
still see him around, gigging with local bands.....he's getting on, over 70 now I think, but he's
still living the dream
......he's an ardent communist as well
MERRY XMAS xx
