What a load of ********

Clearly the truth doesn't fit into your Thatcherite perspective.

I was evicted from my comfortable *proper job* in 1983 but blaming
Thatcher or even a right wing govt. would be ridiculous. The bearing
industry was contracting due to targeted Japanese competition and
internal productivity improvements.

Product value with roughly 1/3rd. staff was about the same due to
automated manufacturing lines.

To retain redundant labour would have crippled the company.

Expansion of 2+%/ annum is heading us to a point where we will become
forced consumers or get ****ed off doing one anothers washing.
