[Politics] Nigel Lawson Dead

[1066familyman]

Look although all the science says he’s dead, we need to find someone to claim he’s not to show balance in the debate. It’s what he would have wanted.

Oh for fracks sake!

This is one of those where I can't think of anything nice to post, so I guess I'll just leave it there.

Yes, my thoughts too. Although actually I have thought of something nice to say, a decent tribute: he was a better Chancellor than Kwasi Kwarteng.

A serious politician, that got seriously into climate change denial.

Founded the global Warming Policy Foundation and sat on the board of Net Zero Watch.

And now the little dweebs that wet their beds every night, scared stiff of the changing climate, are giggling away on social media in celebration. They are an unforgiving lot.

Did he eventually rebel against Thatcher with Howe?

Maybe some little dweebs care what lies ahead for their kids and grandkids.

I'm afraid Rupert Read at UEA is right, Lawson did a lot of damage...

Yes. Details from her point of view in 'The Downing Street Years,' a good read despite the subject of the years.

Dare I suggest if you're looking for sympathy and empathy for the death of basically any prominent figure then Twitter probably isn't the place for you?

R.I.P. Nigel.

Whatever you think of his politics, he knew his stuff and was a far better Chancellor than the shit show we have had for the past decade.

Nigel Lawson: Reforming chancellor dies aged 91

PM Rishi Sunak is one of those paying tribute, calling him an "inspiration to me and many others".

What a vile individual that person seems to be, and I’m not talking about Lawson!

I’ve been meaning to ask… is that Jodie Foster?

Not really convinced by that, tbh. He was a crap chancellor.

What a piece of lazy cliched generalisation.

Thank you very kind

THE Taxcutter's taxcutter.

The tax shifter; from income to spending, from progressive to regressive redistribution.

A terrible chancellor and this country is still paying the price for his mistakes.

And the interest rate riser's interest rate riser.

As "Denis Thatcher" wrote in "Dear Bill": "Fifteen percent at the NatWest (deposit account) and hat's off to Lawson".

Never trust a tory called Nigel.

Or, indeed anyone.
