Still hurts up here in Scotland too the result one tory MP in the country. Remember we had poll tax 2 years before anyone else as an experiment, along with the mines, shipyard, steel jobs that were lost. I left school in 81 and never got into full time employment until I was 21; 5 years of getting shoved from one training course to another, eventually when I was 21 paid £1000 to get my HGV license by borrowing money from relatives due to " Maggie in her glorious wisdom stopped giving grants for people to do the HGV course as too many going for it", that quote imprinted from a DSS worker when I asked about funding toward it, then as I would be technically unavailable for work during my 2 weeks self financed training they stopped my benefit.
Sorry for rant was in good mood until started thinking of all this crap again
