You know many people are eulogising #NigelLawson now he's dead.
But if there's one fact that seems to sum up the man for me it's that he campaigned for Brexit ....then wanted to move to France

Steve Bell on the death of #NigelLawson – political cartoon gallery in London original-political-cartoon.com
How the revenue from that [North Sea] oil was spent – squandered on under-priced privatisations and tax cuts for the rich, buying Tory election victories rather than investing in long-term prosperity – is the real Lawson legacy we should be talking about"
"
When we remember him, it shouldn’t be for the endlessly repeated false history about his time as chancellor. It should be for his own lies, since then, and the damage they have done"

RIP Nigel Lawson: one of Thatcher's original lunatics who believed that public services are better run by millionaires for millionaires rather than than the Public for the Public: .... and here we are today #nigellawson

NB: #NigelLawson spent much of his retirement as a "respectable" face for #ClimateChange denial #pseudoscience

#NigelLawson was a monstrous chancellor. A disgraceful #Brexiter... living in France. And a #GlobalWarming denier.
NOTHING in his public life deserves praise.

One of thatcher's nastiest fascist minions died today.
There were 3 particular men in thatcher's cabinet, she was warned by mi5 were paedophiles and she promoted them knowing this.
Thatcher had christmas lunch with #Savile for ten years in a row in her state mansion.
Lawson began the climate change denial in the UK on the part of the super rich they ruled for.
A great day indeed.
Ding dong the witch is still dead. Also her bitch.

As climate change denier & Brexit supporter Nigel Lawson passes away, we can take comfort that, he is at last reunited with Thatcher-bet he’s not pretending the temperature is going down now #brexit #ToryLies #tory #tories #ToryLiars #ToriesOut #toryscum #politics #ukpolitics #Corruption #ToryCorruption #inflation #bbc #nhs #news #braverman #immigration #SuellaBraverman #stoptheboats #suella #covid #costofliving #boris #rishi #rishisunak #SunakOut #EU #COVID19 #rwanda #NigelLawson #Climate

For 20 years, the billionaire press told us "we can easily adapt to a warmer world".
Try telling that to people in Germany, Belgium and the western seaboard of North America. And this is just one degree of heating.
The media did this, as surely as the fossil fuel companies. Let's not forget those who told us there was little to worry about. People with massive media platforms, who helped push us towards catastrophe.
- Matt Ridley
- Bjorn Lomborg
- Nigel Lawson
- Christopher Booker
- David Rose
- Peter Hitchens ....The roll of dishonour is long and grim
And, of course, their editors and proprietors. And the so-called thinktanks shilling for the fossil fuel companies. Doubtless they all believed they were being ever so clever. But if we recall their names at all, we'll remember them as traitors to humanity...
