whereas new labour worked wonders.
why do people keep peddling the lie she destroyed British industry?'"
Because people vote labour because their parents did and not for what their policies are - therefore everything non labour is evil.
Because they get confused between real facts and quotes from spitting image - here's a clue, Spitting image was a fictional satirical comedy, not a documentary.
Because they choose to ignore the 6 months prior to the 1979 election where the country was at the mercy of the unions to the extent that you wen't to bed not knowing if there's be water the next day, or gas/electricity to heat homes in the winter ...or worse unions holding Callaghan to ransom to the extend that bodies didn't get buried
. And remember there was no striking on principal ...it was just greedy s after more of our taxes.
