This Is Really Desperate Stuff.
Sunak accused of desperate tactics after releasing his latest shock election poster of three people. One them a small child holding their hands up in the air as if at gunpoint. Urging people not to surrender to Labour. How much lower can these Tories get.?

Deskdiary 18.04 So you reckon, Thatcher was the best and most effective PM in your lifetime.,,But did you also know! Thatcher was an admirer of the late Jimmy Savile who she adored and even entertained for Sunday afternoon tea at Chequers and even gave him a knighthood.Thatcher was also very friendly with Cyril Smith who had a lot in common with Saville and young children .She also awarded Smith a knighthood. And of course she was also a big friend and defender of The Chilean Dictator Pinochet who sent thousands to their deaths. Is that what you mean when you call her the best PM in you lifetime.
10cs: "Yep, I remember "Labour isn't working". There was one million out of work when that poster was doing the rounds, then, within 2 years of the Tories gaining office, the unemployment figure was three million. " - yes, lefties love to point that out, they are less keen on the reason though. In the preceding two decades the union laws made it almost impossible to fire anyone, thus there was massive overmanning especially in the nationalised industries. TGL changed the law and many were let go but they were not real jobs in the first place, they were fake positions leaching from public funds. That was phase one of the medicine that was needed. TGL saw it was necessary and did it with not much help from the wets around her.
If you have massive overmanning in the opublic sector then it's costing a lot of money from the taxpayer. I think Labour sometimes forget that. So if you slim down the public sector it saves a fortune. Yes in the short term unemployment grows but those people then find real jobs. Track the unemployment graph and you will see the rise in the early 80s followed by a sharp fall. Those are real jobs in the private sector now adding money to the treasury rather than taking it out. I know you lefty types refuse to see it but that is how TGL dragged us up from being the sick man of Europe.
