And there were plenty of those during that era, too. Why? Because it
was one of those things that everyone knew needed fixing, but couldn't
be. So we made fun of it because the issue struck a chord with people.
For exactly the same reason that we found Fawlty Towers funny.

Quite. And having effectively curtailed unions by abolishing the
industries they were once strong in, we have ended up with a country that
needs to import so much manufactured goods. And has the real value of take
home pay falling. Just what a good Tory wanted.
