It is, in tandem with so much of what you contribute, completely devoid of any trace of humour, pertinence, or originality of thought.
Keep on trying though, the forum loves a trier.

I know 'manufacturing' provided bigger tax revenues under Blair than the city of London did, but that's not manufacturing as Germany would know it. We are talking largely components, which isn't so impressive.

The sad thing is that they were happy to leave all those workers with nothing to do. Some form of the back to work schemes mentioned in other threads recently could have helped greatly here, before the cost became so great.
Thought for the day. I can remember council house estates which had beautiful gardens. Hmm, decent homes that people whose economics circumstances meant they shouldn't be buying could have pride in where they lived.

I graduated July 1990. I had a grant. Thatcher departed 22nd November 1990. So she must have abolished the grant in those last four months then? er... no. the grant was abolished in 1999 under the New Labour government.
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.

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.
