You don't live in the real world, if "Lucky Jim" had won an election what a hell of a mess this country would have been, it would have ben unlucky for Britain, we were already the sick man of Europe, a laughing stock, and why they were baking the labour government cake even in those days, the recipe, first borrow two eggs. Labour have always mastered the art of borrowing, pity they never mastered the art of paying it back.
