Of Targets, Taxes, And Big Centralised Projects

The reporter on last night's Newsnight expressed utter incredulity that Gordon Brown seeks comparisons with Margaret Thatcher when he is so fond of "targets, taxes, and big centralised projects". Yes, he is. But nowhere near as much as she was. The only problem was that she chose the wrong ones. Like him a lot of the time.

When is anyone, other than the valiant Simon Jenkins and Peter Hitchens, going to start looking dispassionately at what actually happened in the 1980s, and consequently at what is actually happening today?
