Have you all forgotten the 80`s & early 90`s?

Question

The heartache, misery, strikes, unemployment, high interest rates (15%). No help for people to come off income support, incapacity benefit to get back to work. All you youngsters think you have it hard haha. People who were bringing up kids at that time will know what i,m talking about. And you moan about Labour. Who all remembers when it was really hard?

Answer 1

Don't you love how everyone's  like, I remember the 90's with clinton. He built a bubble that had to burst. What is happening now is in large part due to that burst.

Answer 2

Have you forgotten the 70`s?  Britain in the grip of the unions, rubbish piled high in the streets, power shortages, the dead left unburied, interest rates at 27% - need I go on? - thought not.  If you are going to point the finger at least look at all the evidence - being a leftie labour luvvie though, I doubt you will do that.

Answer 3

No I haven't this process is repeated in history every 20-30 years so that business and property prices become so low that rich businessmen snap them up and ridiculous prices and then the economy improves again until the next planned slump.

When asking Western school children about the significance of Waterloo, the answer will be something along the lines of ‘the decisive battle between Napoleon and an English lead European coalition’. In fact, the future of the European continent was perceived to depend upon the battle of Waterloo. If Napoleon won, France would have been confirmed as the undisputed master of Europe. If Napoleon was beaten, England would have become the leading power in Europe and greatly expand its sphere of influence.

What Western school children are not taught - for obvious reasons - is the much bigger story behind the official narrative, the story of one of the biggest frauds in human history. Nathan Rothschild, the head of the English branch of the Rothschild crime family, took advantage of his advance knowledge of the outcome of the battle by tricking the London Stock Exchange into believing that Napoleon had won. The resulting crash of the Exchange enabled Nathan Rothschild’s agents to buy the entire London stock market for a Penny in the Pound and seize control of the Bank of England.

This shameless fraud was ruthlessly repeated in 1929. The private owners of the U.S. Federal Reserve, Rothschild subsidiaries J.P. Morgan, City Bank and Chase Manhattan Bank were awash with money earned by financing both sides of World War I. Using their market power, Rothschild’s agents first engineered an artificial boom in the stock market, tricking smaller banks and private investors into putting huge amounts of money into the stock market and then deliberately crashed it, enabling the Rothschild agents to buy most of the U.S. stock market. The ripple effect of the New York crash also enabled Rothschild agents in other countries, such as Germany, to buy local corporations at a fraction of their actual value.

Eighty years later, it looks like our ruling psychopaths are at it again. They are systematically destroying trust in the U.S. dollar, causing holders of large amounts of green bags to sell them. At the same time, the Rothschild’s are preventing the European Central Bank from printing sufficient Euros for U.S. Dollar owners to exchange all of their holdings into Euros. That way Dollar owners are forced to buy gold instead, causing the gold price to explode.

Simultaneously, the Rothschild’s are using their influence on the media sector to spread rumours of an imminent crash of the U.S. Dollar and international stock markets. As per usual, in the day and age of infowar, those rumours first started in the alternative Internet based media, only to spread into the mainstream business media. Last week’s ‘global stock and credit market warning’ of the Rothschild owned Royal Bank of Scotland means that the next Waterloo must be imminent.

All it takes is a trigger such as a thwarted Israeli attack on Iran or the blocking of the Persian Gulf for oil transports, followed by a major stock sell-off by Rothschild agents. Once the world’s stock and credit markets have completely crashed, the price of an ounce of gold will be in the thousands, enabling the Rothschild’s and other owners of large gold holdings to buy the market for a fraction of their true value.

Answer 4

At the end of Thatcher's reign the only people paying less in tax were those on greater than £100,000 per year (which was, of course, worth much more then than it is now ).

Answer 5

I can but you know what they say, 'at the end of every cloud there's a silver lining' Think of tomorrow not yesterday .  

Answer 6

Well, I'd say it's not really fair to equate a party now with their government over 10 years ago.  That's like equating Blair's government with Jim Callaghan's.  Or Michael Foot's.

Answer 7

most of what i remember was Labour in power,  who were in the control completely of the unions who held sway over all our lives, many industries that were inflated with personnel, business that couldn't flourish because unions had such a stranglehold. Three day weeks, of sitting in the dark when they literally turned the electricity off.

Oh the good old days i remember it well. Labour are a bunch of wankers who couldn;t know a good thing when it hit them in the face.  Our economy now is in dire trouble because of very basic mistakes made by the then chancellor Herr Brown, and his smirking feckin boss T Bliar. who got us into wars that if you really think about it has done no one any good whatsoever.  

Answer 8

I see life in 2008 & think. Now quality of life is worse!

Answer 9

Its the capitalist system. Every ten years or so the elite try to gain yet even more property. They take money out of the economy, let people suffer then they decide that peoples mortgage rates will go up etc then the house repossesions kick in. More power in the hands of the few. Thats how they roll.

Answer 10

I remember the crappy economy under the first Bush administration, and the prosperous one under the Clinton administration.

Answer 11

Let's not even go into how back the 70's were.  The 80's were good times in comparison.
