But 30 years ago is still fresh in my mind when I think of the problems one stubborn woman caused for masses of people, she closed steel works and mines that could have still been producing economically for several generations to come. I suppose you could say that some of these workers were compensated by their redundancies, but the torys knew that really that was only a loan that would be paid back because ordinary folk hadn't the resources to use such a windfall without somebody ripping them off, especially when the value of the houses they lived in, in the now defunct mining villages tumbled and drained their resources.
It's the fact that some of us remember 30 years ago that makes me hope we never see the same again.
Nowhere near as bad as the 1930's with starvation, but you try telling a young child that christmas isn't coming because his nice Uncle the Policeman is on overtime but his dad the miner has been arrested because he tried to keep his job!
