Scratcher.

Or Sir Mark Thatcher as he is more commonly known. I was reading earlier about how he had tried to effect a coup in Equatorial Guinea, which by the way seems to be a lovely place and it occurred to me, what on earth did Thatcher the Younger do to 'deserve' being called a Sir? Let's see, a whole series of dodgy business deals, a life of privilege, a very successful set of parents, an attempted coup (admittedly after the Sir was placed before his name), private education, breathtaking incompetence matched only by his arrogance and trading on mummy's name. No real surprise to find that his title is hereditary then, much like everything else he has had in his life. He apparently left Harrow with 3 O Levels and somehow managed to be offered a place at Oxford. Quite an achievement eh? Oh wait, I get it. Another useless titled spoiled brat. Quelle surprise.

My Political Compass.

Well, since it is 2am and I can't quite sleep, I thought I'd take my political compass test. Apparently I'm quite left-wing and libertarian. Interesting.

Your political compass

Economic Left/Right: -8.63
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.03



It is of course very reassuring to see that I am diametrically opposed to Thatcher though.



And the following reveals that I am much like the Dalai Lama and Nelson Mandela. Watch out, I'll be fighting the good fight!



Do your own test here and please feel free to post your results in the comments page, or wherever you see fit.

Carol Thatcher.

Is a heartless bastard. She's just told two grieving Argentine mothers that they should 'get over' the deaths of their sons in the sinking of the Belgrano because it was 25 years ago, and it was war. After a few more questions and answers, of which Thatcher's stock response was 'it was war, get over it', they then had the good nature to ask her how her mother is keeping before responding, "God will punish her". I wonder how Carol will feel when she sees thousands all over the country celebrating her mother's passing? I don't imagine she'd take too kindly to being told to 'get over it' eh?
