I do care about the havoc caused by the Tories in the 80's...
I was still living in Accrington at that time and it was a complete mess in empoyment and town economics.. the then Tory MP Ken Heargreaves even tried to detached himself from the manic idealist right wing Thatcherism that swept the south ... local business and companies closed down because of the obsession the Tory governent had with the "free market" but this obsession included state run and subsidized imports from any "free market" ... korea,china, and tiawan to name a few....
Many firms in Accrington could not compete..and jobs were lost, but of course you could always "get on your bike"!
I am not just taliking about the 80's.... the Tories have historicaly bad for the north west for the last 200 years.
