She created huge employment and then put everyone on sick benefit to cover it up, paving the way for our current Conservative government to demonise benefit claimants as scroungers. |

This 'poll tax' business threw me for a loop. It seems that the term in American English has significantly diverged from its intial useage. In the US the poll tax was part of Jim Crow in which a tax was supposedly universally levied but in practice was only enforced as a prerequisite to vote for blacks and other disliked groups. I suppose thats why we invented the term 'flat tax' to denote a tax paid per adult as 'poll tax' has racial connotations. |

Do we have any reason to expect that a leader of a different political party would've treated Northern Ireland differently? Was the Labour party more concillatory to the IRA? |

Gotta say I think the same. No wonder some of them in Northern Ireland feel screwed over by the British State, rather than any one political party. |
