Funny you say this, because the person who mentioned interest rates in my early convo, also referenced the high rates of the 80s.
There wasn't the opportunity to get into it, but the irony of them replying to me with and eg of high rates under a Tory govt wasn't lost on me.
In a way I think this is one of the key things for a huge chunk of the population. There is a cohort that grew up with the idea of Labour over taxing, over spending and trashing the economy. But there is a fucking massive cohort who have only ever known the country being successful under Labour and a fucking disaster under the Conservatives.

I was 48 yesterday, in my lifetime the only time the country was doing well - and really felt like it knew it was doing well - was the Blair years, which were what - '97 to '07?
All Tory governments have been disastrous periods with a litany of catastrophes and general incompetent grifting.
