Even the best detergents leave a little scum behind

In memory of a Great Lady

Baroness Thatcher has been accused by the left of dividing the country – but that is not quite true. The country was already divided into two major camps. On the one side you had those that aspired and worked towards a better life for them and theirs. On the other side were the union barons, pussy-foot-liberals, socialists, communist agitators, the bone idle, and those that simply wanted to destroy anything that worked.

That situation hasn't changed, except that liberal socialism is more widespread than ever, like a disease with no effective inoculation it just keeps on eating into what goodness is left in our country.

Thatcher recognized the harm that the unions were doing, more than most, for not only had they crippled the country with their demands for handouts for industries that were never going to be efficient nor even pay their way, they had taken over the government. The Wilson government became increasingly paralysed by the unions, and Callaghan totally capitulated to their demands.

If the unions had been able to create a better world, then I for one may have had some sympathy with them, but all they were intent on was destroying the country and turning it into a communist republic. It wasn't known at the time, but the major union barons took their lead and money directly from the Kremlin.

The left is a general term, but it incorporates all that is wrong with the world today. Where are these communist or socialist utopian examples that these people seek to follow? – they don't exist except in their perverted thinking. Even that great communist giant China has incorporated Capitalism into its daily life. No truly socialist state ever prospers, except where they soften their line to allow in capitalist ideas, while their people usually still live thankless lives. Of course socialists and communists regimes are very good at acquiring money from others to sustain them, but that just makes them crooked as well,

You only have to look at some of the politicians on the labour benches that represent the left to understand that they have the disease badly. Take Ed balls or Glenda Jackson, though not alone by any means, but they demonstrate clearly how far such people will go in attacking anything good. Their bile and their lies are there for all to see, but it is the hate that drives them, that gives them away. Given the labour reputation for lies and misrepresentation of facts, one wonders how anybody but the union chiefs could support them, but unfortunately there are far too many out there in voter-land that also are afflicted with this same disease.

The left are at war with the rest of us. While sitting comfortably in the cosy life our society makes possible, they plot and scheme, but of course, those reasonable amongst us do not always recognize the danger. We simply imagine it is a different kind of politics. It isn't, and it is time to start calling the pot black, for never in our history have we faced such a demonic enemy.

If the Thatcher legacy means anything then we need to start rolling back the influence of the left, and that means getting serious about our future:

• getting political correctness off the agenda;
• removing socialist indoctrination from our education systems and media;
• refusing to put up with the lies and malevolence of the left;
• question policy implementation thoroughly and hold MP'S to account;
• declare UDI from the European Union;
• start believing in, and being, a decent invigorated society.

For this to happen though, we have to fully exploit the morals and ethics that drove us in the past to greatness. We have to stop believing that we cannot individually make a difference. Getting behind one great leader is good, but raising our own game to support them towards a common goal is what will make the difference.

Believing that we are all derived from mud as the socialists would have us believe removes hope from our lives. We are, however, much more than that, and we can rise above the hopelessness that the socialists want to mire us in. Of course great leaders will help all this, for while we have some, they have yet to prove themselves for fear of failure, while the rest of the political elite take us down a path of collectivism that will ruin us all.

Maggie was the way, and we just have to follow in her big footsteps.
