I'm writing the above as when I talk to post Thatcher generations they don't believe that this was a normal state of affairs. It wasn't some Democratic Socialist Utopia & there was still much to do but we were on our way and the self entitled bastards didn't like it one bit!
I should have added Nationally owned essential services where everyone paid the same across the country no matter where you lived. Eg Water Rates!
