Fred,old son,how right you are.I guess folks our age remember the 80`s,the unemployment,the tragedy of the miners strike,selling off of council houses.I also recall the early 90`s,I returned to visit my home town of Reading.The Oxford Road,once a busy place full of independent shops, many boarded up.I was approached by a young teenage girl who asked for money.Crap times.Yet sadly I see a similar situation in the future.I`m sad to say ,that as a third generation labour party supporter I`ve given up on the lot of them.Tory,Labour , all a bunch of self servicing sleaze bags.
