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.
