Tim Davies, a patriot ex RAF fighter pilot of over 20 years, does a stint on GB News essentially saying how this country needs strategic industries otherwise it leaves itself vulnerable. This is just common sense but he's right to call the 'uniparty' idiots as their dual obsession with global neoliberalism in every quarter has left us an increasingly second rate country without the skills we were once famous for.
So while we can criticise Trump for this sledgehammer protectionism and what it might lead to, we can also see the argument that some forms of protectionism are more than necessary. It seems we are caught in an argument of extremes.
Thatcher, like Trump, was an opposite reaction figure to the left's failure in government and she did some necessary evils with the economy. However, I remember when Thatcher started this 'neoliberalism' in anything and everything possible back in early 80s and I also remember Tory grandee McMillian calling it, 'selling the family silver'. He was right....it became a meme ideology and went too far.
However, she wasn't responsible for wiping out our military and some of the later privatisations, which were British Rail and Royal Mail. I remember that she voiced reservations about privatising British Rail in the mid 90s, which are concerns that have borne out (in effect aping McMillian). I think by the Royal Mail in 2013 she had had dementia for several years....I think she died that year too.
All the politicians and state officials who did this have letters after their name are heavily rewarded in society and retired on big fat pensions and all because they were part of the establishment's group think and did the deed that the self congratulatory system wanted.
Taking the big bucks while fecking it up.
