Wow. i didn't attempt to smear your mortality. I stated it was different to mine.
No, what you tried to do was imply that your morality was superior - that you're a better person than me. That clearly isn't the case although it's nice to see that your PPE degree has taught you the essential skill of dissembling. I'm sure that the Labour party finds your ability to smear, dissemble and deny reality valuable.
It's a classic tactic, of course. What you're doing is saying that you're a better person than me, and by extension that your arguments must be superior. They aren't. You've told me that it's great to have stuff now that you haven't paid for, and you've got that trick of calling spending 'investment' when it isn't, and you've also pretended to understand the way an economy works, but what you haven't done is presented a better argument.
It seems that standards at 'uni' (what we used to call 'university' in the old days) have fallen somewhat.
As I said, not engaging with insulting nonsense. We clearly have different perspectives on what is important in terms of Government investment and political imperatives.
Where we seem to disagree is as much on the payment for those goods. You seem to think that it's OK to run up tens of trillions in debt that everyone's children will have to pay for in order to buy stuff now. I disagree with the 'have now, pay later' mentality.
Quite clearly illustrated by your quotation of Thatcher.
This is a thread about Thatcher, isn't it? Perhaps I wandered in to yet another 'Leftist circlejerk fantasyland' thread by accident.
Apologies that you found my 'especially wounding' though. Hope you recover soon.
I wonder whether you're deliberately missing the point. You must be.
