Praguetory accused me somewhere of being obsessed with Obama.  Since just before the primaries I’ve probably written 10 maybe at most 15 blogs about the President.  I am in awe of the man and it is a topic of interest for me and hopefully others.  However, I have just looked at the BUCF blog and seen yet ANOTHER post on Thatcher. 

These are the same people who try and intimidate us by saying we shouldn’t bring up examples of the past tory administration when debating them.  I say this; I will stop doing that, when they stopped being obsessed by the root of much evil and get over it.  She has gone, she has expried, she has ceased to be!!  How many blogs on Blair have we written since he resigned?  Maybe one or two, certainly not one or two a month. 

So I’ve challenged myself, I will link here to all the thatcher themed blogs from BUCF since the start of this year, that’s a little over a month; here we go.

That’s 6.  In one month.  A month where Israel invaded the Gaza Strip, Obama became President, Britain entered recession, dissertation drafts were handed in and there were not one, not two but three protests on campus.  In that month the BUCF team felt it pertinent and important enough to write 6 blogs on some woman who was Prime Minister nearly 20 years ago.

So praguetory, don’t ever suggest I’m obsessed with someone who is current a world leader, when your own lot are obsessed with the past!
