In all the British history I know, the UK has never had such a horrid, liberal, radical left government. Totally without respect.
Maggie Thatcher was the last respectable leader that the UK had. Gone are the days of greatness as Churchill, as for us with Reagan.
The once-leading Western nations are in crisis. Radical liberalism, insanity and stupidity abound.

Eh?.
You DO realise that Labour was kicked out of power in May?.
The govt in the UK is a coalition govt, which is mostly conservative, and the PM is Conservative. And the coalition govt is already tackling the welfare system, education, health and safety laws, the compensation culture....
Id rather the Tories had won outright of course, and some policies have had and will have to be watered down because of the Liberal Democrat section of the govt (the ‘Lib Dems’ are centre-left) and the Tories are centre-right and less to the right than 1979-1997, but where you get the idea that this coalition govt is radical left is a mystery.
This govt is having to clear up 13 yrs of the mess New Labour left. THAT Govt is the worst in living memory or ever.
