Armoaning @armoaning.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Good comparison. Only difference I can think of is that Toby went to Oxford - though only, as he later boasted, because his Dad, Lord Young, made some phone calls after he mucked up his A-Levels. Jeffrey didn’t, but somehow successfully invited the Beatles to dinner at “his”Brasenose College. 100 0
Armoaning @armoaning.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Thanks for sharing, Bob. Looks like an absolutely brilliant day. Bizarrely, I had a 50th anniversary school reunion in Stockton on Saturday night, but cocked up by having to be back south by Sunday lunchtime. I guess I might have overdosed on nostalgia. Hope all’s well 010 0

Armoaning @armoaning.bsky.social · 12/03/2025Agree entirely, as a Brit who lived through that awful era. However, she was a paragon of rationality compared to the current demented chainsaw loons in the US. She wanted a smaller state, not none, abhorred tariffs & was architect of the European single market, horrendous old bag though she was. 000 0

Armoaning @armoaning.bsky.social · 12/03/2025She was heartless and cold, but rational and ideological, ie nowhere near as demented, reckless and downright clueless as the current US regime. She abhorred tarrifs and anything else she saw as irrational. Love from London 110 0
Armoaning @armoaning.bsky.social · 12/03/2025This is a facile and irresponsible comparison. As a Brit, I’m no fan of Margaret Thatcher, but her cuts were planned, rational and transparent.
