a thought just occured to me that transcends the party politic 😉 , and this seems as good a place to stick it.
Labour apologists have ceaslessly blamed the Thatcher legacy for their own shortcomings over the last 12 years, and sure as hell the next conservative government will dine out on Gordon's economic wasteland as a good excuse for years to come…
…but, since I wasnt really there and paying attention, for how long (if she did) did Maggie use the mess left by Callaghan's "winter of discontent", or indeed Wilson after Heath's "3-day weeks, as an excuse?
