Once again, an interesting and sensible discussion.
By the way, with regard to Thatcherism, are you aware of a 1992 book severely criticising it, named 'Dancing With Dogma'? It was written by a Conservative politician, Ian Gilmour, who was one of what were called the Tory 'wets'. He was in her first government but was then given the push. I consider Thatcher as someone who came to believe strongly in a dogmatic interpretation of 'free market' economics that relied on crazy mathematics.
Hi Paul 👋
Thoroughly enjoyed that 👍
I do however think that describing Joey Barton as a "footballer " could be a criminal offence 😉
I look forward to the "Andrew and Paul , Spice Girls special " 😉
Team Sporty here , beautiful voice .
Have a lovely weekend Paul and readers 😀

Re-reading it, I am struck by its clarity. It is well worth a read, if one can get hold of a copy.
Thanks, Ian. I'll look out for it.
I hear what you say but respectfully disagree!
