- Look at the shambles that the Conservatives have made of our industrial
- system
- over the last decade. They've all but massacred our coal industry,
- manufacturing industry, steel etc... Unemployment went through the roof in
- the early eighties and never quite recovered, and indeed is on it's way up
- again. We are in the deepest and longest recession since the thirties
- depression and homelessness seems to be a permanent feature of our cities.
- All this after thirteen years of Thatcher/Reagan style conservatism.
