Its unlikely Simon Clarke has bad memories of the 1970s as he was born in 1984. This helps to explain why he forgets a recession made worse by Thatcher driving interest rates up with her uneccessary monetarist policy. The only thing that saved the tories was the Falklands war & North Sea oil.

Trump should be in prison today. Republicans back him knowing he's a crook and knowing he raped little children, clearly mentioned in the Epson files. Republicans are gutless cowards today not like the old Republicans in the old days. Can't think anymore because your head is so far up Trump's ass

It is a factual statement that on September 10, 2026, former President Trump directed a gathering in Dallas to recite a pledge that contained the phrase "cheat like hell." And I hope he rot in hell.👿

If you know someone is being raped, abused, or exploited, silence is not neutrality. Speak up. Report it. Get help. Fifty-seven people can sit in a group chat and say nothing—but every person who knows has a choice: protect the silence, or protect the victim. #Pinks ✨

Poor Sir Simon. According to the Office for National Statistics, the 'remarkable national recovery' he refers to is a myth. The 1980s was when our national decline started. I wonder where he gets his information? 99-percent.org/back-to-the-...
A post suggesting that the 1980s saw a national recovery from the previous period -- entirely inconsistent with the facts.
