MODERATORS
Took the words out of my mouth.
Social democracy really do be the moderate wing of fascism
To think there was a time Labour was pretty respectable given its place in the Lion’s Den of capitalism. It even had a mini-revival under social democratic Jeremy Corbin.
was praising her too
Every moment of meaningful change in modern British politics begins with the realisation that politics must act in service of the British people, rather than dictating to them. Margaret Thatcher sought to drag Britain out of its stupor by setting loose our natural entrepreneurialism. Tony Blair reimagined a stale, outdated Labour Party into one that could seize the optimism of the late 90s. A century ago, Clement Attlee wrote that Labour must be a party of duty and patriotism, not abstract theory. To build a “New Jerusalem” meant first casting off the mind-forged manacles. That lesson is as true today as it was then.

Attlee created the British welfare state, Thatcher and Blair dismantled it.

How the fuck anyone managed to type those two things one after another?
optimism of the late 90s
I'm starting to see a pattern here
To build a “New Jerusalem”
Yup, inoperable.
There is a cure

Thatcher always said her biggest accomplishment was destroying the labour party.
Her biggest accomplishment is paying homage to Mao with a kowtow when she fell down the stairs of the Great Hall of the People. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Evr9IJCUUAEbGzR.jpg
Even from beyond the grave Mao keeps throwing capitalists to their knees.
Ewww, and to think that the 
is becoming more like it's master, 
How the labour party will refuse anti-imperialists, but will allow neoliberal ideologists like these cumskins. God, I hate succdems with a passion.
Death to AmeriKKKa. Death to Europe. Death to South KKKorea. Death to Isntrael. Cursed be to the liberals. Victory to Communism.
Does she want her grave to become a public toilet?
Late in 2002 Lady Thatcher came to Hampshire to speak at a dinner for me. Taking her round at the reception one of the guests asked her what was her greatest achievement. She replied, "~~Tony Blair~~ Keir Starmer and New Labour. ~~We forced our opponents to change their minds.~~ They're literally just Conservatives now "
You should make this an infographic.
NHS is so doomed
This has the same vibe as Homer's re-interview with the Germans
"You've been Shadow Chancellor for 3 years. What initiatives have you spearheaded in that time?"
"Uh, all of them?.."
"I see...then you must have some good ideas for the future as well?"
"I sure do!"
"..."
"Such as?"
"Well, uh, I wish the workers wouldn't be so whiny about us taking all their money...Because, a lot of capitalists really like money..."
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
The only good thing about Margaret Thatcher is that she looked exactly like an Eli Valley drawing of Margaret Thatcher
Shadow Chancellor!?
Supreme Leader is not okay, but Shadow Chancellor is!?
Average US congressman
totally on brand too
I think of "Thatcher's decade of national renewal" in the same way I think of "Hitler's thousand year Reich".
Continuation Tories
Whenever I read about a shadow minister in the UK, no matter the context, I wonder why that country in particular hasn't thrown their whole political establishment in the ocean yet. They are telling you they are evil! Act upon it!
