      @@bf1255 Definition of socialism in America is different to anywhere else. Social housing here is when your local council funds the construction, and rents are then paid to them. But the rents are more affordable because they're not built to make a few rich people richer. It's so that people can afford to live on minimum/low wage jobs or pensions. Commonsense, one might say, but not in ideological USA.

    • @andrewcdavies21

      I would very kindly suggest that before you criticise this lady with your particularly incoherent list of generic virtue signalling soundbites, you first read / think about her astonishing accomplishments to become the leader of the Parliamentary Conservative Party, to become the Parliamentary Leader of the Opposition to Her Majesty’s Government, to become the First Lord of the Treasury (often referred to as the Prime Minister) and to hold that office longer than any other person since 1902. Second, I would very respectfully recommend extending your reading / thinking to enable you to steelman the rationale as to why during three democratic UK General Elections 13,697,923 people voted for her in 1979, 13,012,316 people voted for her in 1983 and 13,760,583 people voted for her in 1987. Can you explain why such a large proportion of the electorate voted for someone that you describe as an “evil woman”? Do you consider all of those voters as also being evil? If not, what motivation would they have had to vote for an “evil woman”? Can you explain why so many people held a view at that time that is the inverse of what you now believe particularly given that you seemingly have very little knowledge / understanding of history.
      P.S. in accordance with your statement of being a “bennitte, cobynite through and through”, I assume that you are declaring your unwavering agreement with their most fundamental principal for the sovereignty of the UK Parliament and absolute rejection of the totalitarian European Union project; such that you will have voted to leave the European Union during the 2016 UK Referendum?
