  • 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.

  • It did OK for you, so it feels like a good period? It felt like a good time for me as well.

    I'm pretty sure there are things we could point to in those 10 years like PFI, TEH WARZ, the push for education in university, which on reflection might not be that great for everyone.

    But yeah, the vibes of 97 - 03 felt great, I came home in 07 and then it all went to fucking shit from 08/09/10.
