Yes, someone who can bring mass poverty back to Sunderland again.

But the Thatcher Administration effectively
ended poverty there (and elsewhere)

My God!! Not another one.

by bringing supply and demand for
labour back into balance:
something that over-strong unions
had been resisting for years.

My God!! He is on about unions and all. Not another one. The right wing
press since WW2 has made the unions the bogy men of the British economy.
Thatcher effectively ended the unions. All was going to be hunky dory and
what happened? The economy kept sliding still. So it wasn't unions after
all. It was incompetent management, of which Britain was famed for, and
political system that favours privilege (Public school/Oxbridge and all
that. Paxman puts the public schools and their influence as the cause of
the post WW2 decline of the UK)

We now have full employment;

Not due to Thatcher. If you think that get professional help.

something the Germans and French can only
dream of. And why? endemic supply
and demand imbalances, and an
over-regulating state.

Nonsense.

These things tend to take decades
to work through, which is why the
benefits derived from the 1979
administration only really started to be
seen in the late eighties and nineties,

You are deluded.

and the damage caused by the
Blair administration (over-regulation,
pension-fund raiding, government-sector
over-manning) will take another decade to show
through in lower productivity, wealth and living standards.

Damage? The longest rate of economic growth in history. And this turkey
says Thatcher did it. Please get help.
