Lets face it, just suppose Labour had be in power since 1979, would the pits be open? would the steelworks be open? would they have done it in a painless way? I somehow doubt it. Of course they wouldn't have done it straight away they would have waited a bit until it all started fall apart, and because it would be unplanned and chaotic there wouldn't have been an orderly change to new industries.
In Germany the most painful reform was done by the SPD (the socialist party) simply because it all began to fall apart on their watch.
Gerhardt Schroeder is hated almost as much as Thatcher is.
It's just the mugs who happened to be in power at the time.I'm alright JackComment

I was fortunate to go to uni just before the fees were introduced.
Since then labour have done their best to force young people into a state of debt and at the same time devalue the very degrees they have got massively into debt for.Coffee's for closersComment
