I grew up under Thatcher in 80s Britain (also 70's but too young to see it). Britain's problem with labour unrest was rooted in other problems. Ironically, one being a problem we are seeing again now - massive inflation. Yes, you

Looking from the outside, I think US political discourse IS far more hostile. Britain won't accept things like Politicians being harassed, or one politician calling for other politicians to be harassed (and that's before we even g

I think you need to read more into Thatcher and what happened under her to understand why some sections of society reacted like this. I don't know a huge amount about Regan, but I doubt you can really compare them. Britain in the late

Russia has about 150M people. Ukraine has about 50M. If Ukraine refuse to cooperate with Russia and fight a guerrilla war, there is absolutely no way they can hold the whole country.

I've drunk fresh raw milk. In my singular, ancedotal experience, nothing happened. Onviously that means everything is fine, and we should all be drinking it, all day every day.

The US may not care about Ukraine, but I assure you that Europe does.
