""Prior to Thatcher there were virtually no hard drugs, beggars on the street, and the culture of gangs, and the feeling that life in England was a chasm of poverty you can fall into and keep falling.""

Which planet were you living on in the sixties mate? Virtually no hard drugs?....Ha bloody ha!   What do you think "Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll" refers to then?

No gang culture?........1950s Teds v West Indians, 1960s Mods v Rockers closely followed by Hell's Angels v Anyone who "looked at them funny".

And I don't recall Maggie running the country back then.....and neither do you!

So what planet were you on?
