Thatcher and her legacy

Three days after Baroness Thatcher's death, I've read a lot of support, and a lot of negativity.

Today Russell Brand wrote a piece in The Guardian about his views on Thatcher, and how he felt towards her.

He wasn't cruel, nor was he praising. He is obviously left wing, like so many in the Show Bizz industry,

Caitlin Moran tweeted, 'how children think of Thatcher'. What I think she means to say is, 'how children THOUGHT of Thatcher'.

Most of my school friends haven't got a clue who she is, in fact, most of my school friends haven't got a clue politicians are.

But people like Russell Brand, Caitlin Moran, Sally Lindsay, and others support anything against the right, seem to have forgotten what it was like before Thatcher came into No10.

Firstly it was a three day working week, as the Unions had the country on their knees striking every two seconds. Oh yes I'm sure that helped the country's debts a  lot, I can see why she is such a bad person for bringing back stability.

Secondly, we were in extreme debt! The left decided, as usual, to spend, spend, spend our hard earning money for what? Nothing.

Owen Jones hasn't come up with one reason why Jim Callaghan would have been better to stay in the Cabinet instead of Thatcher, in fact nor has Russell Brand in his piece.

In fact, I can't see a reason why people today would vote for Labour. Firstly Ed Miliband is a shambles of a leader, and so is Cameron, and so is Clegg.

As I've made earlier points, it's embarrassing watching them sometimes.

Labour spent money we didn't have, and Cameron and his bodies aren't doing a great deal to undo that. Labour also start wars on false pretenses, sell gold for it's lowest value ever (bet Gordon was really pleased with himself when he did that), and for the fact that they had Peter Mandelson.

I understand why miners don't like Thatcher, in fact they have every right not to like, and to celebrate her death in the way that they feel fit.

She took away their lively hood, although lets be honest we are all glad she did, it was a very green thing to do for the planet.

She hit them hard and fast, however, by going on strike, and proving to the nation that we can keep going without them they almost dug their own miners graves.

Something the left don't like to admit, sometimes when you strike you make your own argument invalid.

All I have to say on Thatcher is, I thought she did the country better than any Labour party  has done. The left have only ever had one thing to look back on and that's 'The Spirit of '45!" Makes me feel quite sad for them really. 

People vs The Welfare System

It's been a huge debate that has split the country for decades, people who do and don't deserve to claim benefits.

Today Mick Philpott, Mairead Philpott, and Paul Mosely were given their sentences after the deaths of the Philpott's children in a house fire, that they caused.

Mick Philpott has 17 children by five different women, and claimed tens of thousands of pounds, and although it definitely wasn't the cause, nor the reason why he decided to set fire to his house, with his children still inside, it is people like him we need to reign in!

It's people like the Philpott's who abuse the system, and people like them who need to be stopped, they put an unjust stereo type cast over others who are deserved of their benefits.

However, for some reason, people on the left like Owen Jones, Lab MP Tom Watson etc, don't seem to think that these people need to be stopped! And if they do, and I'm not fully understanding their stance on this issue, how would they go about it?

Owen claims there's a was against people claiming from the right. Well I'm not against people claiming benefits, in fact I think it's awful that he doesn't want to get rid of the people who are completely and utterly abusing the system!

Tom and Owen would carry on the New Labour's way of life, who had more people on benefits under their government than any other.

Firstly, benefits are there to help people while they are out of a job, and looking.

Secondly, it's not there as a way of life for people, unless you are disabled, or have a disabled child, family relative who you look after, or are otherwise unable to work.

People like the Philpott's will carry on abusing the system if there are no consequences, there should be a system in place where its either pretty obvious that you are unable to work, or you go through a little process to prove so.

That way we can eliminate these abusers, and the people who need, and rely on the benefits would probably be able to receive a bit more.

I think the left need a long hard look at how many people were on benefits under the last Labour Government, and come up with a solution that would help the deserved, because all they are doing is feeding abusers like Mick Philpott.

The Philpotts

The disgusting actions of two parents, Mick and Mairead Philpott, which resulted in the deaths of their 6 children.

Also just as disgusting, the headline of The Daily Mail.

Firstly, I agree with Owen Jones (it seems to be happening more and more!!!), don't blame the entire class, there have been many cases of rich men/ women taking the lives of their family and their own, in fact, I've probably read more cases of rich men/ women doing so.

Although it's obvious it wasn't the Philpotts plan for their children to die, it was their plan to frame someone else for the fire, and they are still trying to blame someone else!

But The Daily Mail is blaming an entire class. This isn't fair. Mick Philpott is a known abuser of the system, and is also a known violent, and controlling man.

So instead of The Daily Mail mourning the awful, and tragic death of these children, they point out the class in which these children were living in, not that class has anything to do with their death's, and how he had never worked a day in his life.

I feel for the six children that lost their lives, and I can't imagine how they would feel, had they survived, if they had found out their parents put them in such a dangerous position.

Let them rest in peace, and give them some dignity in death, that their own mother and father took away from them.
