Margaret Thatcher too, closed down the coal mines and so was in the vanguard of the fight against global warming - USA didn't catch up for decades until Obama started closing their mines. A good line on Thatcher (and Blair) is: "She was a terrible PM. Just terrible. It is amazing she was re-elected. Twice" |

John Stuart Mill
Thomas Malthus (one for Urinetown fans there)
Of course they were often in opposition but it's the friction between their ideas that is interesting, coming to similar conclusions on growth scepticism from different directions.

Was pretty much responsible for the murder of over a million Iraqis though, always remember that one. Yeah I was playing devils advocate, why I said could of as that was his dream. Yeah I voted for him once but we all did in '97. It was funny after eighteen years. Felt really funny voting at an election again this year |
