#RoryStewart & war criminal #AlistairCampbell had a play-fight in #TheRestIsPolitics, blaming each other for the the UK's 1-ship navy comedy. The so-called "#RoyalNavy" has only ship to send to the #Mediterranean, the #destroyer #HMSDragon.

But the real #comedy is that the boys think this is somehow bad. 🤣

The #BritishEmpire is gone. #Thatcher formally abolished it in January 1983.

And without the spoils of Empire, #PerfidiousAlbion can't afford a blue water navy.
It's cosplaying.

Thanks, #Thatcher

Maggie Thatcher, you can't match her...

Dirty #water, #death, decline in England

#England remains an anomaly in the world, as only country apart from Chile where #water is owned by #private #companies for #profit

Then #Conservative PM, #Thatcher, promised in 1989 privatisation would deliver higher investment

In 2002, ministers were warned in a report, which remained secret, privatisation allows private equity funds to load companies with debt, & regulator #Ofwat would lose regulatory control

“The situation is not getting better, things are getting tangibly worse,” said Andy Tyerman, of Exmouth’s anti-sewage pollution campaign Escape.

Margaret #Thatcher still casts her evil curse upon British lands to this day. The #privatization of water and sewerage treatment in the #UK stands out as an example of what a "controlled monopoly" looks like - and it's disgusting.

How Does it Feel to be the Mother of a 1000 Dead?

🎶 "Your arrogance has gutted these bodies of life
Your deceit fooled them that it was worth the sacrifice
Your lies persuaded people to accept the wasted blood
Your filthy pride cleansed you of the doubt you should have had
You smile in the face of the death cause you are so proud and vain
Your inhumanity stops you from realising the pain
That you inflicted, you determined, you created, you ordered
It was your decision to have those young boys slaughtered"🎶

Sometimes it is just too good to be true - but apparently it is (true that is). I wonder how long it will take for the bailiffs to sling him out on his erse?
