roXXo said:Interesting question Aidey, but 18 years was it, of record number of businesses going bust, council house being sold off, record number of repossessions and homelessness, personal bankruptcy, massive unemployment that touched nearly every family in Britain, reduced funding in schools and hospitals, closing care homes, kicking those who cannot look after themselves out into "care in the community", poll tax, riots in the streets while a few at the top lived in yuppie luxury.
Isnt this the same point weve just about reached now? Poll tax riots? This could happen again soon if the stories about new council taxes are true. And this time it will be the people who are paying the tax!
Sorry Roxxo, I must have lived in a very different 1980's to yours, and having started from just about the very bottom (now doubt the comics on here will have fun with that) I know that those times were not that bad for most of the general population back then. Yes, it was hard for some, I wont deny it, but life is very much harder for some now.
