@Remittancegirl @runoutgroover @Geri No problem. block me if you wish but I felt agreeing with the term ‘liberal paradise’ was showing some kind of approval of the Thatcher years.

@markmason You didn't bother to read the nuance in the post - that it was 'almost as if' In hindsight, at that time, people had better health coverage, could afford housing, free education including university, far, far less state surveillance, much more tolerance for peaceful public protest. I lived through it. It was grim. But now is also grim. It's grim in different ways. I think it felt more possible to see a brighter future then than it does now. @runoutgroover @Geri
