Nigel Lawson, RIP

[Michael Rolls]

The former Chancellor has died, aged 91. The most telling comment on his legacy

>>A reforming chancellor, he set out to reduce taxation and encourage growth which saw him leave office with the country's budget in surplus.<<
We could do with some of the same today

[Flying Bomb]

Never believed in global warming either.

You're right Mike, we could do with more like him.  RIP.

Am I right in thinking his ideas were responsible for selling off all UK energy companies, water, telephones, gas, airports et cetera ?

Nevertheless, 91 is a good age, condolences to Nigella.

Well it was certainly the Tory Government of that time which adopted the uncontrolled free market concept.

But nevertheless, we no longer have any 'big hitter' politicians such as Nigel Lawson.

I don't think I was much into politics at the time other than avoiding labour. Same now except it's avoiding labour, conservative and lib dem.

Anyway RIP to another name from my past.
