Derek Hatton is just a nasty-minded individual and in his attitudes displays a demeanour which is all too common amongst dyed-in-the-wool leftists.
Cameron has no concept of what she accomplished.
But here is the question : How many people would prefer a 50 year old Margaret Thatcher to the current PM, to be entrusted to get us out of Brown's mess? [Cameron is an irrelevance.]
Common sense dictates that it would have to be a Thatcher but I suspect that the vote would be an extremely close one.
Far too many people in our wiffly waffly, soft under-bellied society would take the easy option - even though it would cost us dearly in the longer term.
This is what happens when you have an electorate, the majority of whom, will not vote for the 'right' thing but only for the immediate difference made in their pockets.
