Thanks Hughie for this vomit inducing shite, we've had 32 years of neoliberalism, and the country is still in the doldrums.

The 70s wasn't just about politics, there was some great things in the arts (music (pop and classical), poetry, comics, animation, experimental film etc)

@pardeepsinghk Ya they did, privatizing the Bank of England which allowed them to set interest rates way too low. Also I agree with Brown that this was an American problem that spilled over to us.

@timwmartin Sorry but America never had the IMF bailout, winter of discontent and 25% inflation. Britain was unique in it's socialistic misery.

@NIKFANTASTIC Your opinion is correct

@david552 Regardless, he was a cunt. An utter worm of a man.

In Australia we had similar problems - crippling strikes, high inflation, rising unemployment, a sluggish economy, governments in crisis, petrol rationing, credit restrictions. It was the nature of the decade that the social contract broke down in those dark days - and never really was put back together. This video is nostalgic but a thinly veiled attack on the Labour Party - the problems were (and are today) much more complex than that.

Did the Conservatives ever criticise Labour's economic policy from 1997 to 2008?
NO!
Because it was a continuation of Major/Thatcher.
Britain was hardly alone in its' misery back in the 70's. America had Watergate, the failed Ford and Carter administrations, stagflation, two energy crisis and racial tensions that were always on the verge of turning into full-fledged rioting in places like New York, Detroit and Chicago.
