91 is not bad - probably that radical weight loss that added a few years to his life

One of the best Chancellors of the Exchequer Britain has ever had.
He cut the top rate of income tax from 75% to 40% and helped a modern, fit-for-purpose economy for Britain after years of stagnation.

Interesting take on the Thatcher legacy Don't disagree with the need for economic reform, and indeed a cut in income tax for the high earners, but can't help feeling that we are still suffering from the legacy of those decisions Anyway, can't be arsed to debate it |

You'll get no argument from me on that. What I will say is that, awful as things are at the moment, they're still not quite as bad (in terms of inflation, industrial unrest and economic stagnation) as they were at the end of the seventies, meaning that 40+ years of Conservatism has left Britain in better shape than 30+ years of Socialism did. |
