Is it really too much to ask to have even ONE Trump administration official go to prison for Bribery? Really? One of the only crimes enumerated in the Constitution, and we just don't enforce it? Even when we pay these people to serve us and they OPENLY serve themselves? Why are they not behind bars?

History is written by the victors. Thatcher broke the power of trade unions by mass unemployment, industrial restructuring, frittered away N Sea Oil, laid the foundations for the current housing crisis, decimated local bus services, hollowed out local government and introduced the poll tax.
Simon Clarke 

Andy Burnham seems to remember a different 1970s to the rest of us. Britain in 1979 was utterly broken - ravaged by unaccountable trade union power, economically stagnant, the sick man of Europe.
The 1980s saw a remarkable national recovery based on free enterprise, the rule of law and championing Western values. And it is this that our Prime Minister rails against...
