General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

The 1970s are back with a vengeance, high inflation, high wage claims, and the Unions on the warpath.
The RMT are going on strike, and they are going to spoil the Queen's Jubilee

Maybe those headlines should have read.
BACK TO THE VICTORIAN TIMES.
Soup kitchens, dependence on charities for food and shelter, shoplifting for food, money lenders loaning money at extortionate rates of interest. What next, may I ask. Child labour, maybe? Or maybe we have had that for some years, in the form of YTS schemes and the like.
No apologies for my red flag showing again.
