It's all been an exercise in asset stripping since then.

The 70s was the best!  I grew up in that era (well, not quite as I was very little during most of it)  My family prospered and people still got rich.  They just paid more back into the pot.  These days they seem to begrudge paying anything and the rich think they're owed a living by everyone else.  It's enough to them that they style themselves as 'creating wealth' or 'providing jobs', regardless as to how much wealth 'trickles down' and how much or little they pay their employees.  That's where their responsibility ends.

It may be that the mechanism concerned imagines that the Labour Party is the one of 1945 and onwards, trade unionism, nationalisation, and Nanny state, that we remember so well, sort of, rather than the current crock of sheight, we can do Thatcherism better than the Tories, corporate funded, besuited bunch of twats, if I may say so.
