After 40+ years Thatcher’s legacy of the privatisation trend and “We’re the party of low taxes” is only now starting to have its consequences felt in the communities.

it was her entire dogma

the public sector was inefficient and expensive, the private sector efficient, cheap, trustworthy and reliable

she was a fucking moron



Do we treat cattle poorly?

Fuck private equity in general. Fuck them particularly when they’re responsible for any human’s care and comfort. Just surprised to see vegan messaging leaking into daily discourse.

Nearly 20% cows in UK now kept in battery cages and never go outside.
