In 1986 the Archbishop of Canterbury, Donald Coggan, said that the poor had borne the brunt of the recession, and that it was the poor who were being blamed for the country's financial state. It is very rarely that I agree with religious persons on any subject, but here he was absolutely right.
That statement could equally be applied to our present age. I remember the Eighties and, believe me, they were every bit as nasty as today. I feel like vomiting when I hear people looking back nostalgically, and waxing lyrical about the Tory government of the day. Whoever talks like that must have been either blind, deaf, or in complete denial. Or they weren't around at the time. Or they are just plain liars.
