I hate the woman. I watched everyone round me struggle to live whilst her and her mates enjoyed fine wine!

A lot like it is now after Blair and Brown destroyed the British economy.

In all honesty I wish that Labour had won the last election, it would then have been their task to dig us out of the mire of their making.
And no-one else to blame.

3 day week....that doesn't sound too bad, 4 day weekend. Brilliant, I charge extra for weekend call outs!!

I was born in 1978, and to a working class family. My dad bought our first home thanks to some of these Tory policies at the time, and then suffered with mental interest rates, and poll tax etc later on. It's never going to be a perfect world we live in.

At least she was a character. That's a hell of a lot more than you can say for most of todays politicians.

Yep. Only Boris Johnson left who you could call a real character. And I can't make my mind up whether he's a genius or an idiot. I suspect its a bit of both.

Or Scargill in a legal battle with NUM over his "lifetime right" to live rent free in a £1.5m london apartment.

Good old Brother Arthur, he and his ilk sealed the fate of the unions while feathering their own nests.
True Socialists until they became rich and powerful then incited their 'brothers' to strike and starve, did they follow suit, no way.

I seem to remember paying 15-16% interest on my mortgage then.

Mine was about that - we paid £18,500 for our first flat, which was lovely until the '87 hurricane blew the roof off, and we had to move in with the in-laws. Longest 10 weeks of my life.

Not far off but even that nearly bankrupt us,in fact if the wife hadn't been working we would definitely been out of te house after a few months.
