No Joe...that's was what she inherited from Labour. 25% inflation actually, and I was signing on those unemployed just before she got in. The country was on its knees because of out of control unions and people demanding pay rises of 35% (railway workers for example).
People sleeping though their shifts at BL.
The country needed a wake-up call.
Yes, she drifted later, but not until she and the Tories had brought the country back from the brink.
I was around then and I have a pretty good memory of events.
As soon as Bliar got in, everything started to turn to **** again.
