The Tory party are about to split

[milanbenes]

You are kidding, right...

I am also relying on the Grauniad more these days, the Indie has it's own agenda, the Torygraph is it's own zone of reality and at least the Grauniad gives some alternative opinions and perspecives across all spheres

Milan,

Well in the 1970's you had, North Sea Oil, and a huge amount of gold reserves.

Today the oil is running out, the gold has been sold, and the rich avoid tax.

We also have tasty levels of debt, when considering the 300 year low emergency interest rates.







Socialism looks good in Scandinavia.

Tories DNGAF about anyone but themselves.

Labour - for the many, not the few.

I had to queue for an hour or two to buy 3 gallons of petrol
I was only allowed to work three days a week.
Power went off routinely, without warning
Unions kept me out of work for a few days; the blockade was by miners, my job was in an electronics company.
TV stopped at ten pm, if the power was on.
I didn't have a pay rise for three years
Bins weren't collected, at all, not just every week or two.
The dead were left unburied. Some places hired refrigerated lorries to store the deceased
Marginal tax rate was over 35%, interest rates were in the teens.

Want me to go on...?

Snip

Why do people keep saying this for the many not the few.

Everyone on this board - especially those who are working on a day rate are the few - not the many.

the many are those earning under about 30k per year for the household.

or to make it clear

You are the few ya dense tw@s

you old timers keep digging this stuff up, born in the early 70's I can't remember any of that, was it only in the North ?

Britain wasn't so bad under Bliar was it, no three day weeks, no power cuts

Handfuls of hot gravel.

Folk haven't had pay rises in 10 years mate.

Over a million people go to food banks.

People are having kids later in life because the cost of living is so huge.

The 70's was gravy.

Blair was a God Send compared to Korbyn.

Korbyn will take us back to the 70s. After all, that is the period in which his left-wing brain was radicalized.

Yes that's right Ted Heath's Conservative government was terrible wasn't it.

Sir Edward Heath - Telegraph

Heath had bad luck from the beginning, for Iain Macleod, whom he had appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1970, died soon after. Macleod's successor, Tony Barber, produced a budget which cut both income and corporation taxes. But the government was hard put to control wages in the public sector.

Strikes by the dockers and the power workers forced the administration to introduce two states of emergency within its first six months; and the need to ration heating and lighting in December 1970 led to a rush on candles.

Maybe it's because we GAF about friends and family who aren't so fortunate.

Like I said, Tories only interested in themselves.

Snouts in the trough.
