Last time a government anything like current Labour was in power was
late 1970's. Those old enough to have direct memory of how that worked
at the time, and what inflation well over 10% looks like, will be at
least aged 60 now.

I remember 1979 very well. I left an employer who provided staff
mortgages fixed at 3%, and found myself suddenly paying 15%. 1979 was
the year base rate hit 17%. Amazing to think there are youngsters now
who have only known a base rate of 0.5%, for the last 8 years.
