Steve - can't remember the details.. I was 20, in a shit job, living in Leeds near the Uni at the time thatcher won..
There were hardcore nutter student political fringe groups in abundance...

The really scary feminists were campaigning for her to win [for obvious reason..]
and there were seriously barmy lefties who me and my mate [a politics student] were aware and came into contact with in pubs and the main lefty bookshop.

They despised Labour for being lackeys of capitalism.. and had high hopes thatchers victory would spark off the revolution...

Could one of them have been Ake when he was much younger...?????? 🙄
