TSR best (post-war) PM tournament: QF2: Blair v Thatcher

Comparing Mrs Thatcher to Blair is like comparing the Magna Carta to a raspberry vape.

Mrs Thatcher broke the backs of the unions and brought Britain into the information age. She made ordinary people home owners, won a war against foreign aggression and stood firm against socialism at home and abroad.

Tony Blair is the progenitor of all the social ills we have today. He gave us the idea that people can be whatever they want, regardless of skill, talent or resource, and if they don't achieve their goals, it must be because of discrimination. He softened the image of the socialists and paved the way for the sickness of the soft left and cemented in place fetid institutions like the BBC and the European Union with their towers of filth. A man that always came across as lacking in intelligence but the ability to market his hollow dreams. The mobile phone salesman of politics.

I'm not a fan of conservatism (this doesn't mean that I'll oppose every conservative belief and accept every progressive one) but equally not a fan of the fact that Blair decided to meddle with the Middle East because I'm getting sick of the west getting involved in other countries problems.

Maybe this is just ignorance from me though but can't seem to be able to vote for either candidate.

Tony Blair got Britain into an unwinnable war for the wrong reasons.

Mrs Thatcher won a war when sovereign territory of the Falklands was invaded by a hostile foreign power and protected British Overseas subjects.

Thats a nasty one. One was an egregious war criminal and the other tried to pauperise the entire country and wrecked our utilities..
