"think the not being possible to see a brighter future is more to do with world politics than domestic"

You could be right. But honestly, I think it is about economics and a lack of sense of the possible, which is really about domestic politics. But I could be wrong.

@Remittancegirl @runoutgroover @Geri thanks for explaining your point of view rather than just rage blocking. I can see you a re saying but I think the not being possible to see a brighter future is more to do with world politics than domestic. Back then we only had nuclear Armageddon and the thee minute warning. Kids now have that AND ecological breakdown and global war. I feel for them.

@markmason

You didn't bother to read the nuance in the post - that it was 'almost as if'

In hindsight, at that time, people had better health coverage, could afford housing, free education including university, far, far less state surveillance, much more tolerance for peaceful public protest.

I lived through it. It was grim. But now is also grim. It's grim in different ways. I think it felt more possible to see a brighter future then than it does now.

Do not fucking straw-man me, Mark. NO ONE is saying it was great.

I have ZERO patience for this kind of zero sum crap.

There is a very convincing argument to be made that many people's lives and futures look far bleaker now than then.

@Remittancegirl @runoutgroover @Geri the Thatcher era was great apart from the poverty, unemployment, class war, riots and dissolution of any kind of business law. Oh and the turning the police into the de facto military wing of the Tory party. Apart from that and the fact that long tail of Thatcherism is behind many of the problems we face today not only in this country but all over the world, it was great.

Surely this means she can sue the cops and judges will start holding prosecutors accountable for bringing frivolous charges? I sure hope so.

"She was arrested for "intimidation of a jury" but at trial Mr. Justice Saini ruled in her favour, saying she was only stating the law outside a courthouse, and that can not be illegal

"She was arrested again last week for doing exactly the same thing as were many others"

@DeliaChristina I run a weekly one woman protest outside the house of Commons where the MPs go in.

I always say hello to the police. On one occasion, a police officer said ty for what you are doing and then put his finger to his mouth as if to say don't repeat
