@FrankEndrullat@mastodon.social @jay@blan.cc That sounds like the UK on May 2nd, 1997 (after the Tories were spanked out of office by Tony Blair, but before Blair ripped his flayed human facial mask off and revealed the darkness within).

@cstross @FrankEndrullat I do try to keep in mind what the 80s and early 90s were like. Blair ended up being on the Thatcher scale, but only at a 0.6 of a Thatcher. Alas people like Wes Streeting seem to be aiming for a 0.8 and above.
