ah so you would also be aware that after the devaluation from Harold Wilson that everyone got significantly poorer.

Of course in the 1990's and 2000's the pound stabilised and strengthened so making everyone significantly richer, which is why everyone is much better off.

If the UK crashes out of the EU then the pound will crash and the UK will resemble the 1970's with the stench of uncollected refuse and sitting around with candles reading paperback books.

quote "the pound in your pocket will not be affected"

Because I worked in a Nationalised Industry at the time, I really didn't see any severe affects. I did see an effect as a result of Lamont's attempt to keep in the snake though.

"which is why everyone is much better off"

we are better off because in the 60+ years since WW2, we've only had a socialist government 30% of the time. The average Englishman is better off than the average Welshman. The political landscape of England has been predominantly Conservative for the past 100 years, while that of Wales has been Labour. The Tories have looked after the English better than Labour has looked after the Welsh.

"If the UK crashes out of the EU then the pound will crash and the UK will resemble the 1970's with the stench of uncollected refuse and sitting around with candles reading paperback books."

created by the mis-management of the country's finances by the Socialists. "the pound in your pocket" etc.

Maggie put a stop to that, but unfortunately, there were some bitter pills as well.

I also remember the King dying, and that's King George VI, the Queen's father, not Elvis.
