and yet people parrot that that's still better than being under a Labour govt.
They "remember the 70s" apparently.

Yes -that's exactly it.
Something about binmen going on strike and graves not getting dug.
For a few weeks. 40 years ago.

Yep, the '70s are always remembered by Tories, Tory voters and Paul Dacre as a labour disaster, but conveniently forget the 3-day week, (homework by candlelight), as Heath failed to address the problems caused by the (crude) oil price hike surging through the economy.
I also remember Thatchers two recessions, mortgage rate at 15%, Black Wednesday, Osbourne driving the UK economy into a ditch, and we have yet to see how much the Tory regimes from 2010 onwards have added to the National Debt.

I've heard loads of people say that. But I've not heard anyone conversationally say things like 'since May got in, the cost to my business of buying stuff from Europe of has skyrocketed, maintaining a massive inventory stockpile is crippling and the costs of delaying investment is now materially affecting my competitiveness'.
I get media bias, but it's still really odd, the economy has actually, wilfully been driven down the past few years and yet people parrot that that's still better than being under a Labour govt.
