According to the Bible of the left, which now has also come out with the Gruaniad to find Miolliband's Labour wanting:
No doubt he learned about the inevitable failure of capitalism on his Marxist father's knee and has been waiting for such. He will have to wait longer as capitalism is flexible it adapts and does so very quickly. People ask why Milliband is not in touch with his core voters? The truth is that these are not in the form he would wish, they need more social engineering to fit his model of what is acceptable. |

A "poisoned challice" that was the product of many decades of failure to sufficiently invest in industry, innovations and in working people, exacerbated by a world recession and the oil shortages of 1973. That didn't just happen in the late 1970s. |

That is quite reasonably correct. It would be difficult to imagine how a settlement to the continuing conflict of interests between management and workers could have been achieved when there was no political will to compromise on it. In fact the major dispute was brought about by a government proposed wage freeze (high inflation eating away at wages), and the other because of soaring energy costs (OPEC). So rather than being the mediators in this "strife", the Government were major players in creating it .... just as they were for the Miners Strike. |
