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.

The BBC and others banging on about how Andy Burnham has lost the pensioner vote, highlights the horrible state of politics we’ve come to. Governments paralysed by obsessing about the next election, rather than explaining what needs to be done, and then doing it, regardless of opinion polls.

Really not sure what Adam Miller was watching. Nigella Lawson was a horrible addition to Bake Off. From her contrived flirting with Paul Hollywood to her disgusting greedy scoffing of everything edible in sight, Lawson tried to be the big personality in a show already overflowing with them. Hideous.
