The real issue would have been to vote Thatcher out, before she rent the whole country asunder with her ways.
Basically it was top class gear which sounded fantastic, while my contemporaries were playing brand new Westones or Hondos through Alligator tranny amps for about the same money.
For sure on that
Sorry if this belongs in the politics section, but historical untruths like this need to be called out or they tend to stick by repetition. The Winter of Discontent I'll give you as Callaghan's fault - he should have called the election for the autumn of '78, with hindsight - and the other two can be blamed on both.

Don't derail the thread too much please guys, it was interesting!
There seems to be a popular belief that everything that was wrong with Britain in the 1970s was the fault of the "Labour governments" - in fact there was only one, from 1974 to 1979. Much of the damage was done by Heath before leaving `Labour to try to fix the mess.
You may think what you like about Thatcher and whether what she did was necessary - personally I think she did some good and a larger amount of harm, which could have been avoided - but don't base it on falsehoods about what came before.
