I worry sometimes that the stuff Teribus was sounding off with, about how everything was terrific ble before Thatcher was elected, and how much they've got better since is accepted by younger people as true, in the same way as the lie about how the crash of 2008 was caused by Labour oversepending wss swallowed by so many.

The '70s was in many ways a pretty good time , and the changes brought about under Thatcher radically altered this country for the worse.

That doesn't get said often enough.

We took a wrong fork in the road back then, and were still a long way from where we should be.
