    A bit supervised with some of the replies to be fair, each to their own but before Thatcher:

    There were strikes every week
    You all were able to buy your Council houses (after)
    Candles most nights power cuts
    You had to burn your furniture to keep warm - more strikes
    You never went abroad on holiday you went to Ingoldmells in a caravan for a week
    The jobs were dangerous with very little health and safety - pit and steelworks

    This is why it’s being considered.

    For many years now the choice of government has been the lesser of two evils.

    Same with Thatcher at the time

    Before Clement Atlee we had no National Health Service or National Insurance benefits and a host of other safety nets that stopped people falling into the abyss of poverty.

    I would argue there is as much, if not more, justification for having a Clement Atlee Day if we’re going in that direction.

    (Probably more appropriate to have an Aneurin Bevan Day but we’re talking PMs here…)
