Yes, but the person in the middle is doing what?
whatever he is doing .. I WANT HIS JOB!
As do I, my friend. As do I.

According to someone on my facebook, Thatcher’s support of Pinochet was a “mistake” A mistake she did not rectify. A mistake she carried on making throughout her life, A mistake which lead her to campaign for his release when he was arrested for human rights violations. It wasn’t a mistake - it was a choice. A choice to ignore what the man did and what he was. Apparantly, we should also overlook her support for apartheid because “South Africa is more lawless now” the fact that this might be because of the years of apertheid and systemic repression of the majority of the SA population is neither here nor there, it would seem.
Stop deifying this woman because she died - she didn’t save our economy, there were 2 recessions during her tenure. The economy was healthier under Tony Blair. She squandered North Sea oil reserves, she destroyed industries, she was friends with dictators, she ushered in neo-liberalism and the idea that conviction was enough in politics.

"To write? Because all this is going to vanish. The only thing left will be the prose and poems, the books, what is written down. Man was very fortunate to have invented the book. Without it the past would completely vanish, and we would be left with nothing, we would be naked on earth."
