I like the way you state this as incontrovertible proof + openly admit you are reading an overtly right-wing book. I wonder whether this is a troll...

All I shall say is a. I think you'll find it's more complicated than that, and b. look at the data.

"openly admit you are reading an overtly right-wing book."

It's called an autobiography.

I've heard the left wing excuses and arguments and find them thoroughly unconvincing.

> b. look at the data.

I have.

I have a policy of not arguing online any more as it tends to lead nowhere, so this will be my last response on this (I don't mean to be patronising here, just stating my position).

It's a autobiography by a right-wing leader, so if you talk about subject X then reference said book, it's likely that opinion will be right-wing, which was my point.

Anyway, I didn't mean any offence, and I don't want to get embroiled in a political argument, rather wanted to highlight that.

I agree @ arguing online.

For what it's worth, the book isn't really filled with opinions, more than it's filled with facts from the time.

eg "We were spending X on British Steel, and the Unions wanted us to spend Y, wanted pay raises of Z, despite falling productivity" etc.

It was a mistake for me to include the book I was currently reading as it instantly isolates half the political spectrum unfortunately.
