1985;

The House of Commons approved revisions of the country's divorce laws today, voting to allow couples to start proceedings after only one year of marriage instead of three.

The Matrimonial and Family Proceedings Bill, approved in a 119-16 vote, also ends the alimony right of divorced wives that ex-husbands have complained amounted to virtual lifetime support.

The bill, introduced by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's Conservative Government, is expected to take effect next fall despite bitter attacks on it by church leaders.

THen we've got the 'right to buy' scheme which saw families saddled with debts they couldn't afford.
Add the rise of availability to get easy credit.

Conservative policy
Did you read the 2nd small paragraph I wrote?

That’s a Conservative party policy, not a conservative policy.

Just as Blair was leader of a socialist party and wasn’t socialist.

Regarding the right to buy scheme, ownership of property is very much conservative, so I agree with your first poi but not your 2nd.

Nobody has a problem with separating Blairism from the traditional Labour Party movement, but they seem to think every single thing the Tories do is the conservative ideology being enacted... its not.

Doesn’t surprise me.

Next time Blair is brought up I’ll blame the Iraq War and his NHS privatisation on socialism, no worries.
 
I did come on to say, wait for it......, Bojo's gone up a hell of a lot in my estimation recently. Although that's not too hard considering how low he was in the first place.
To give him his due he's not hidden away and has been all over the place doing stuff. Saw him last night on tv trying to wipe down a plastic chair in a covid centre. I thought, he's never done that before but he gave it a good go.
He talks to joe public well and seems to listen a bit.
Politically he's still a twat but overall i think he's been pretty good in handling this unprecedented situation.
 
@Ban-jani

Made you a separate thread to discuss your beliefs as they seem to be cropping up in most threads and diverting wildly away from topic.
It’s because in most threads the same few people refuse to acknowledge and understand basic political concepts. The reason they do not is because as Vic admitted, they don’t read from opposing views.

Nobody is going to post in that thread you’ve created, because they don’t want to know what conservatism actually is, they just want to stay ignorant by thinking it’s everything and all the Tory is and does.

Oh fuck off with that.
The next time i've not done 5 hours graft, taken wife to doctors, walked mutt, fucked off a smack head burglar from the street and generally had nowt but shit to deal with all day i'll get back to you and probably blame all that on fucking religion.

Start it off then. I'll be honest I find it boring but maybe you can prove yourself wrong by drawing in other posters.

Frustrating isn’t it, when people are purposefully ignorant about your position.
