    Where should I start? Since you brought up the "Tories" (I'm guessing you mean Thatcher's administration?), I will talk briefly about Thatcher's economic policies and then go back to your friend's fundamental question about whether the policies allowed the elite to exploit the under-privileged.

    Without going into too much detail, I will outline the major economic policies that were behind the so called "Thatcherism":

    - Commitment to freeing up the market
    - More focus on monetary policy to control inflation
    - Allow for more public ownership (in shares and assets)
    - De-regulation of certain industries to bring more competition and increase efficiency
    - Reduce the size of government
    - Reduce the power of trade unions


    All the above were ideas strongly advocated by Milton Friedman well before the early 80's when there was a wide polarization of opinion. Now, the above ideas are accepted in almost every economics department in the world. If you disagree with the any of the policies above, then you are disagreeing with virtually the entire economics profession. The ideas should be clear to anyone (Econ major or not) who has taken Econ 101.

    Let me know if you disagree with any of the above polices, I'll be more than happy to explain it for you.

                  I could say a lot about the inane nature of this post,
                  but to be honest there is no point because it speaks for itself.

                  So you and your son miss out on the occasional game bacause a few people decide to spend thousands of pounds and make a 20,000 mile round trip to fulfil their dreams and go to a game of the team that they love. And when they do they get treated to this kind of attitude.

                  Obviously the scousers simply want a scouse club supported by scouse fans. But why leave it there? Instead of banning just the wools why stop there? Let's get rid of the non-scousers that make up the playing and coaching staff? Let's see if you scousers will get the club you want then, without the global support and without a global presence within.

                  When I go to Anfield I'm almost amazed at the vast variety of different kind of people I see there - people from all over the world - makes me realise what a big and special club it really is. Then I read posts like yours and I wonder why people from places like Japan and Singapore bother to follow a club that attracts such a petty and small-minded support like yours.

                  Best supporters in the world my arse, cant even support our own let alone our club
                  That's a good post Dhavlos - I agree with you. I apologise for the drunken post made last night which really contradicts the way I feel about the support for the club from all over the world.

                  I'm pretty fed up with the ticket office and the club shop at the moment but this shouldn't have resulted in such a stupid post.

                      Cheers mate. I'm still disappointed with myself for posting that though.

                      I'd much rather see football fans all over the world wearing Liverpool shirts and being proud to support the club rather than following ManUre or Chelksi.

                          Everyone makes mistakes...

                          It's when one continues to make the same mistakes and never making the slightest effort to correct those mistakes (let alone admit it) that pisses me off...you know...like Mr Duncan Oldham

                            Well done for realising the folly of that post.

                              Glad I read down to this post, as I was about to type a hotheaded reaction to your earlier post. Fair play for having the balls to apologise for the other post. Takes a big man to admit when he has made a mistake.
                              I don't hate people. I just feel better when they aren't around.
