Thatcher will be idolised in the same superficial terms as Mother Teresa or Ghandi, thanks to a population carefully indoctrinated with a Great British Education About British Values And Great British People, and millions of kids will study Thomas as a primary source in history lessons

Alot of people were skeptical on the left but they just had Thatcher then Major. The first three years of Blair was pretty great, increased NHS funding, introduced the minimum wage, significant changes to legislation relating to rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people during Blair's period in office. Gay sex was put down to 16 same as hetrosexual sex. 2001 - 2005 is when he started to go downhill, he still did some good domestically but it started to get really weird. Iraq War aside for a second he made it so Transgender people were given the right to change their birth certificate to reflect their new gender as a result of the Gender Recognition Act 2004. Introduced Employment Equality (Sexual Orientation) Regulations 2003. Adoption by gay couples was legalised. It goes on and on, I still think he is a sack of poo poo but he still was better then Thatcher. 2001 was when you saw him slightly going down, 2003 was when he started going quite crazy eyed with regard to Iraq and all the PR bullshit, backstabbing, Hutton report etc. He's still a poo poo, but you got to know when some shits have done good. Cause the good Blair did outweights the good Thatcher did. I'd rather not have either.
