    I’d say that David Cameron and every PM since him were several times worse downgrades than making an uglier version of an obsolete box but that’s just me 🤷

          Blair was Thatcher-lite. How was he any better than Cameron?

            Nah, Blair was more of a British Clinton (which is plenty bad enough!) with warlike/sycophantic tendencies. Cameron was Thatcher Modern.

              Blair built on Thatcher’s legacy. That’s a simple fact https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/jan/18/blair-thatcher-legacy-labour-zarah-sultana

                Blair was to Thatcher what Clinton was to Reagan: while both cynically perpetuated most of the society-destroying new norms of their non-immediate predecessors and even vehemently resisted attempts to undo them, they didn’t make big reforms to make things much worse still like Dubya and Cameron did.
