Clarke seems to remember a different Thatcherism to the rest of us. Asset stripping public utilities, left behind cities, devastation of manufacturing, greed, and pocket lining. Some will never let go of that despite all the evidence of the harm it continues to do.

That's not what they're doing. Nothing changes until 2030, then state pension will rise annually by at least inflation or 2.5%. That's literally keeping pace with costs what are you on about.
