The extraordinary levels of unemployment which peaked at somewhere between 3.6 million and 5 million (depending on how you calculate the figure) during Mrs Thatchers administration were the result of years of political mismanagement of the economy, underinvestment in research and development and the industrial infrastructure, restrictive work practices and general resistance to change. Add to this a global recession and rocketing oil prices and I would say that we did get out of it relatively easily. It could have been a hell of a lot worse!
