Unlike the great unwashed of today who have it inbred into them that they donât need to do feck all for the country but will still be better off than those that bother their arrses to work. Labour of old loved the fact that the proles lived in Govn owed housing. The Iron Lady at least made it a possibility that those that wanted it could buy their own slums."
Balls. This country is less socially mobile than at any time for 3 generations. You can work your nuts off and still get nowhere - hidden taxes, high prices and venal big corporations see to that. Unless you are prepared to be a rip - off merchant and use other people before throwing them away like rubbish.
Everyone I know works like a fukcing slave and still has major money worries. I meet plenty of people born rich but brainless - they can do what they want, sat on their inbred, (and repeatedly buggered) public school arrses, and still never worry about anything more serious than where the next new Merc is coming from.
Labour messed up in the 70's (I do remember - just). What they were trying to do a generation earlier - when voted in by the returning heroes of my Grandad's generation - was make a fairer country. They were beaten in that by vested interests, notably the crappy Press. thatcher's great crime was to put a final end to the idea that we are all in this together. UK is mainly just selfish assholes now. I'm happy to put a lot of blame for that at la Thatch's door. She was, indeed is, a genital.
