Ow'ed on a bit.................the answer to that as far as I am concerned is yes. I would slag anyone I thought was a prat and I did............The Tory's spent years trying to right the wrongs of the Labour Goverment before the emergence of Maggie.
I will probably get slated for this, but here goes.
Taxpayers were losing money hand over fist keeping the railways alive as with the mines, millions of pounds lost and subsadised , not by the government but the taxpayer.
Easy money from the IMF was not available then as the country was still paying off its debts for the second world war.
The country was on the verge of bankrupcy as it is today under a labour government......spending money you have not got is why we are in this mess now.
Some of us chose to call the Americans but if they had called the debt that was due to them on the due date, we would have been in deep crap.
