Really??? Sludge....I grew up in a 2 up 2 down terraced house near Porth.....outside toilet that froze in the winter....tin bath hanging behind it for baths on Friday night. Dad was a coalminer in Ynysybwl who used to come home from a double shift and had to carry coal from the roadside through the house to the shed at the back.

He...like me...thought Thatcher was a breath of fresh air....and justified. She is the only politician with any guts since the seventies.

Having said that I could not possibly vote for those who call them selves Conservatives these days....and Labour are just as bad.
I will vote Reform or Independent if I have the opportunity.

I am surprised you still reside in a conservative village like Cowbridge given your views. .....where incidentally I worked for 18 months in the sixties at what was the Midland Bank.
