By the way, industries, shipbuilding - all faced with massive foreign cheaper competition - they would still have been thriving if labour had won the 1979 election would they? Fair enough
Perhaps if labour had been in charge in the early 1800's, all those home weavers might have kept their jobs, and the industrial revolution wouldn't have occurred. Sound stupid - course it is - it's economics. Even labour don't any more say too loudly about the collapse of heavy industry - because economists know the heavily unionised uneconomical, unreliable all too willing to strike industries were the architects of their own demise, along with a changing world.
Ok, personally I would have thrown money at the industries to prop them up, as an alternative to the social damage of unemployment (But the politically motivated unions of the time still needed to be tackled - it's because of this that unions now are back to what they used to be - organisations looking after the interests of their workers).

This country was the sick man of europe, and a laughing stock. This has now changed. If you'd prefer things were different.....fine.

Meh, politicians, they're all the same - corrupt and as bent as a bunch of bananas. Know something though - if it wasn't for their vile education policy, I'd prob support labour. As it is - hate the lot of them.

Taxes high - you serious
Compare taxes on the continent - then say the taxes here are high. With the exception of fuel (aint much cheaper in Europe) and smokes/alcohol, taxes here are quite moderate.

Course, everyone will always say they pay too many taxes....then expect all the services - for nothing?

As for saying the Bank of England had room to manoever prior 1979, that taxes are directly related to industry (Ignoring the industries which have replaced manufacturing industry), nah - I'm not even going to comment on that one, it can speak for itself for anyone whose studied economics and history to judge for themselves.
To be honest, I've also not got time to write a massive long spiel on the state of the economy throughout the 70's (It wasn't good - tory and labour govt faults) - it's Saturday night and I've got to be elsewhere Nice chatting

@sheepy Said
Why on earth am I defending the tories....they're just as bad as any. Maybe it's personal experience of labour jealousy.

OK, funny you should mention education policy and labour. They are wanting to introduce "lotteries" in school admissions - which will mean kids living next door might not get in - and those across town might. It means parents choices have been restricted.

Hey c'mon. You ask any economist and they'll tell you, it was the Tories who gave us our consumer-dependant economy. Look at it right now. The Bank of England has no room to manouver know as it did pre-THatcher. You want to know why taxes are so high? Because the government can't afford to lower them. Why's that? BEcause we have no industry. Why's that? Thatcherism drove it out. ANd you praise that?
