Well he cant exactly grab her hair and play. You never been given a hickey by a horse before? You've never lived my friend...

i still think this should be aired instead of the actual news..

it accurately depicts the state of unemployment and the goverment's inability to constructively deal with the situation, while leaving out the angst the daily news pump into our lives..

not to mention how mr.Atkinson is more easy on the eyes than the plethora of taut and smug announcers...

@seppsters 1980 inflation soared to 21.9%. Unemployment 3.3million.

When The Tories took over inflation was below 10%. Unemployment 1 million.

I make no apologies for being left- wing, we actually believe their is a social cost to be taken into consideration when working out any economic equation. ' Everyone has to stand on their own two knees and let the Devil take the hindmost' was Thatcher's philosophy.

You need to go and check your facts. I don't need to lie.

Champagne's on ice.

@graceygrumble

You're lying, because that's what left-wing people do. They lie, because they have no facts in their favour. The 25% was in the 70's before Thatcher came to power, she took it through nearly record lows and when she left Inflation was under 10% and unemployment was at 1.5m.

@bonfirejovi When Thatcher came to power inflation was at 10% and there was 1 million unemployed.

During the election campaign, an excellent poster was created showing a long line of unemployed people with the slogan "Labour Isn't Working".

SHE took inflation to 25% and had 3 million unemployed.

I'm going to put up bunting when that bitch dies, crack open a bottle of Champagne and have a party.

@bonfirejovi because it was all then-current affairs, shit name by the way. my feeble excuse is that mine is 6 years old, what's yours?

[altractors]

Funny how this stuff's relevant again!

[bonfirejovi]

And look at the inflation figures you stupid fucks. That was an intentional recession that was meant to squeeze inflation out of the system. You idiots forget she was left with... 25% inflation, stagflation, already high unemployment, pound devaluation, winter of discontent, grave digger strikes and an IMF bailout that we begged for. People forget how bad the 70s were.

Why was no sketch done outlining the incompetence Callaghan, Heath and Wilson?
