Thatchersim — still the basis of so much of our economy — worked by making us buy things we already owned, using money we borrowed from our grandkids, and then cancelling the maintenance and calling it "savings".
And now everything is broken.

And yet that doesn't mean that I don't work hard and do my best to contribute to my community and the country. This is nothing but deliberate, carefully framed racism from Labour.
