Fusion98 A history lesson,
In the 70`s we had various miners strikes, this leading to 3 day week and power cuts.
Denis Healey had to cut short his holiday because Labour had bankrupted the country. He had to go cap in hand and beg for a hand out from the IMF to keep Britain afloat. Not sure of date .
We were producing cars that nobody wanted, Alegros, Maxi,s, Princesses Morris Marinas and the like known in the trade as "dogs"
Britain was Known as "The sick man of Europe"
Maggie changed this. Ok a lot of service industries but still some very good cutting edge companies. We now produce more cars than ever so industry is still here. We have record employment also.
Now after Maggie came the useless John Major. Soon to be vanquished by the promise of "new Labour". And what happened? Gordon Brown chocked the golden goose. To use Labours own words "Theres nothing left" He sold half our gold at rock bottom prices along the way, remember? Sent my healthy private pension into the red reducing my pension and making me have to work years longer, Not very Labour like for the working man. The country near bankruptcy again. Which we are still paying for and caused by Labour, not Maggie.
Now some of my dates may not be accurate but the gist of my post is true.
If you want more country bankruptcy followed by austerity, lack of security, then vote Labour and pray history does not repeat itself. Here ends the lesson.
