Not surprised. Seen most of my family screwed over by government decisions over my lifetime.

The cost of building materials has almost doubled in the last 18 months too, which affects my business.

We have knobs like Tim Martin moaning that there are no people to fill the vacancies in his pubs now that loads have gone back to mainland Europe, despite his insistence that we should leave the EU. W@nker.

Brexit ain't looking that good to me right now but I'm sure the outers will be along soon to tell us all how it will get better in time.

It wasn't broke and didn't need fixing.

It will get better in time Ginny.

Good article.

It will get better eventually. But it’ll be a bloody long time. Just like things got a bit better years after the austerity cuts. How much damage will be done by then, God only knows.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

It's strange they never put "It will be shite, but will get better in time" on the side of that bus.

A few years ago I might have jumped up and down about the way the industry of which so many of my family were a part, was sold down the river, literally, by successive governments and even our great local MP Crosland. This latest is small fry, intended, because there is virtually no industry left to bother about. It was a politicians’ plaything from the start. We were done over by them all from yer darlin’ ‘Arold onwards. Unlike the miners, dockers, power workers. …..we never had any clout, never had any leaders, never even had any redundancy ……

That much is true. I bet if the fishermen had actually ever organised and struck like the miners and dockers did in the early years of the 20th century, they’d have had some influence and eventually redundancy pay. It wasn’t a job that employers could have easily employed unskilled scabs in.

PS, Crossland as Foreign Secretary had the Cold War to think about. A tap on the shoulder from Uncle Sam (Kissinger?) to let the Icelanders have their way so NATO wasn’t seen as foisting its airbases on them against their will. The same would have happened with the Tories. Only quicker and without any of the angst that Crossland’s wife mentioned.
