This is what was scrawled down on the minutes of Maggie’s meeting with a group of Young Conservatives in 1982, released today. How things change…
UPDATE: The Margaret Thatcher Foundation has confirmed that it was Ian Gow who penned the apt observation.

Andrew Pierce on Ed Balls…
“Porky Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls sweet-talked guests at a fund-raising dinner by saying if he wasn’t a politician, he would be a chef. That’s not surprising, since he was accused of cooking the Treasury books when he was Gordon Brown’s boot boy.”
Bloody foreigners, coming over here taking all our twitter followers
I’ve turned on my own as well…
Has Mandy taken out Russian citizenship yet?
They still stone mincers there.
Bugger me!
shut that door!
want to see the size of my land bank?
OR A COCKER TOO?
No I think he s waiting for Depardieu to lose weight so Mandy’s svelte figure can squeeze into the ……..country.
Wasn’t Maggie brilliant. Total myth she never had a sense of humour
I bet it wasn’t a joke.
And it certainly that joke isnt funny anymore now that the little tossers are running the country.
I bet a lot of them are in the HoC was anyone there when these notes were taken
Current Labour party members
Each more cretinous, corrupt, dishonest, deceitful, conniving, greedy and evil than the other.
You’re talking about MY supporters now.
Sounds like he’s still looking in the dictionary to find the words that are fit to enable him/her to talk about your supporters.
In 1982 THE YC’s were CONTROLLED BY WETS like Nick Robinson (BBC) and Richard Fuller (MP).
It only became Thatcherite the year Mr T was toppled
Who is Mr T
Is he the one in the “A” Team that calls everybody “Fool” ??
How things change? Do you mean “ghastly” isn’t strong enough to describe them now?
Was Willy Vague one of them?
Willy was her prodigy, leave Willy alone he came from Romish
As opposed to maybe “disgusting,” Merseysider?
Although I’m not altogether sure whether you’re referring to whether those then-YC’s are ghastly now, or it is the current crop being ghastly– or is that a distinction without a difference?
Revolting?
Thatcher meant to write wankers
No doubt some of those young conservatives are now MP’s – Maggie right yet again !! excuse the pun!
Shame the IRA blew up. RIP Ian
Nevermind, the most ghastly are all in the YBF these days.
Guido, I insist you remove this article at once, failure to do so will result in exemplary damages or worse, I shall make you watch three of my films consecutively.
What a terrible torture Mr Who
Vain, vacuous and vile. My son came back from his private school and spouted those words to me.
” ….did you by …” (sic)
Bi Bi Dai
Is that how they all spell in ‘Ackney ??
I resigned from the party due to the riot at a YC conference that made the tv news. I send Maggie my resignation in disgust at the behaviour of young conservatives, and I got a considered response. I cant myself help but wonder how many, if any, of these rioters are in our cabinet today. I am 48, so any cabinet minister around that age could have attended that conference and rioted.
They drove me out of the conservative party due to the destruction they caused. If any of them are in our government destroying this nation now, it just goes to show that some things just dont change.
Ah that must be the Bullingdon branch of the YCs
White Riot, what
Was Guido one of the ghastlies?
I thought he was in the SDP back then. Or in an ovary if you mean GuidoII
Under FOI, we have a right to know who Maggie was specifically referring to.
There was no FOI then; quick let’s pass another retrospective piece of legislation.
You could just pull finger out of arse, and click on the link, to find the minutes with a full list of names. All bloody Wets.
Related note has Gow refer to Chairman Picton as “unspeakable”, “bearded and unemployed”
Reblogged this on shared blogs.
Ian Gow, now there was an MP to be proud of. Still much respected in our part of Sussex over 20 years after his murder.
It was the Chairman of the YCs then, Iain Picton, who said that rioting was an understandable response to unemployment, that provoked Norman Tebbitt to make his famous “get on your bike and look for work” comment.
So, these people all now all be in the government?
