    Left school in 84, around the time Maggie the drug dealer had her 2nd win......it was opportunity knocks as far as I was concerned.

    Encouraged to buy property, encouraged to invest, encouraged to think better and want better for yourself and family, encouraged to take personal responsibility.......just beat Micheal Foot....imagine what wuda happened if he had got in comrade.....Jesus Christ almighty.

    Dealing with DUNDONIANS and their "finances" for many years I thought far more families had a tougher time during Brown and Cameron/Clegg Govts....Cameron's right hand man (chancellor forget his name) was a particular nasty ****.

    George Osborne. We are all in this together when he found the note from the previous Labour Government that said There's no money left. Tories have, on more than one occasion, had to rebalance spending after a Labour Government.

    The unemployment during the early 80,s in Scotland was shocking. She pulled the plug on most industries like shipbuilding, mining etc. Families suffered living hand to mouth in some cases. Some people will have profited but she is probably the most hated politician in Scotland.
    I'm sure she also backed apartheid as well at one point.
    It wudna happen now without far more help and support for the communities that were devastated and pulling the plug on subsidies wud have been far more gradual.
    It's divisive politics and ends up with the I'm all right Jack and to hell with the rest.

    Always wanted to work hundreds of feet underground, or head Doon arse up on an assembly line or in a ****ing freezing shipyard........it's romanticised ****e from a long gone era.

    As for hated politicians, sturgeon, the justice minister and the weirdo green.....look no further.

    80s was one of the greatest decade for upward mobility.

    It's not romanticised, it was families livings and helped communities get by. What we got now is better eh, call centres and supermarkets.

    And Sturgeon is not close on the hated scale to thatcher.
    But we both know that.
    I'd guess unemployment in early 80,s Scotland was highest in our lifetime, braw eh!!
