Nope ... all I said was, if you look that they weren't LESS likely to be racist.
And you're definately not less likely to be, it could be argued that thatchers youth are MORE likely to be.

I'm a product of Thatchers youth too, so it's all subjective.

Ok..but even if it turns out that they are more likely to be racist surely that's down to parenting and not maggie thatcher?

It's always telling when people are more offended about the suggestion of racism than racism itself.

What’s more telling is someone going around picking up table scraps trying to make a meal out of them.

You want to make out you are some superior individual when you are no better than anyone else.

With your high morals, no dezzy you just put yourself on a high horse.

Typical. Some lefties jump like delighted fleas on anything they can make a sentence out of with 'racism' in it - as long as its the 'right' kind of racism of course.

You didn't comment on Kizzy's awful generalisation of calling people 'Thatchers youth - aging racist yuppies'. Seems you don't mind ageism and narrow mindedness - as long as its the 'right' person saying it, of course.

Why so defensive? Bit strange for you to go on the attack like that when I wasn't speaking about anyone in particular, just a general attitude in the world.
