Nigel - Maggie Thatcher stuffed Australia. Both Tony Abbott and John Howard are thatcherite. -

What nonsense!
Taking a few quotes from the memoirs of a past prime minister of a foreign country and blaming that person for the later failures in another country is ludicrous.
Even if it’s true that your leaders did base their actions on Thatchers words (which I do not believe is so) THEY still have full RESPONSIBILITY for THEIR ACTIONS... no one else does.
I believe it’s a dangerous modern trend we have these days that so many people look for other reasons / excuses for the outcome of their own actions.... “it’s not my fault I raped her, she was showing too much leg”... “it’s not my fault the house has been re-possessed, it’s the mortgage companies fault for lending me too much money” ... “it’s not my fault I’m a murderer, its because I had a bad childhood”... etc, etc.
Its the snowflake culture. And I despise it. Our actions are our responsibility. Period.
