There's one in every village
Comrades Blair and especially Brown are the ones that bankrupted UK Plc... Brown did such a royally appalling job that we are still paying for it.
So I ask you... Whi is ACTUALLY responsible for the current financial state of affairs?
Well, as you asked, Thatcher lit the touch paper, and Blair never managed to invest in a fire blanket to put it out, and probably just ran around fanning the flames, but this lot are MORE evil than any others before them. The rich backers of the Tory party get richer, and everyone else can suffer. We are all just pawns who will be digging our own graves.
A long time ago, when I was a young man. I used to think exactly like you do. Then, at some point I learned to think using facts, rather than emotion.
I looked at the unbelievably dire state of the UK, particularily its economy, in the 1970,s and couldn't escape the conclusion that someone
had to take power and do difficult, radical, things, make huge changes, and sort the country out.
Thankfully Thatcher did just that, and saved the country. That is no exaggeration. If you don't believe it, do some objective research on just how bad things were in the UK in the 70,s.
Within a few years of her taking office the economy had become probably the strongest in the world, the nation had regained its pride and things were on an upward trajectory until Gordon Brown squandered the legacy, ignored the lessons of history, and bankrupted us once again.
Did Thatcher get it all right ? No. No-one does, and some things could have ben done differently, but overall, she turned a basket case of an economy into the envy of the world.
And despite what the media might preach, the money was by no means concentrated at the top of society.
She created the situation where ordinary working class people became homeowners and small business people.
Overall society was changed for the better and has largely continued that way, despite Blair and Brown, but Corbyn has a dream to wipe out all that has happened since the mid 70,s and take the country back there.
The unions will run the country. Pay rises will be upwards of 20%, but inflation will be pushing 30%.
Corporation tax back to over 50%, so business will flee abroad, and no-one will invest.
Talented people who earn good money will have income tax levels of over 80% again, so we will have "the brain drain MK2".
Then McDonnell, like Healey before him, can go cap in hand to the IMF, to try and borrow the money to pay the wages of the public sector, because our credit rating will be so poor, banks wont loan us a penny, and there is no wealth being generated.
This isn't a fantasy. Its what happened. I lived through it, and it was caused by the exact same policies which Corbyn is promoting to gullible younger people and very stupid older people. If he gets to number 10. History will repeat itself.
P.S. The gap between rich and poor was at its widest under the last Labour Govt. It has narrowed in the last few years.
Under Corbyn there will be no gap between rich and poor. No-one (who stays in the country) will be rich, and everyone will be poorer. Much poorer.
