[Liz Webster @LizWebsterSBF]

Thatcherism broke Britain.
The EU was just the scapegoat.

We sold off council homes.
We privatised our utilities.
We deregulated everything.
We hollowed out industry.
We turned housing into an asset class.
We handed public wealth to private monopolies.
We replaced wages with debt.
We stripped the state and called it “freedom”.

Then when the consequences hit 👉
low growth, low pay, high bills, no homes, collapsing services the same politicians who caused it pointed at Brussels and said: “Look over there.”

Brexit was never the cause of Britain’s problems. It was the cover-up for forty years of deliberate policy choices.

And now we’re paying the price.

It was a joy to make a surprise stop by Della Soul Records in Michigan and look at their impressive vinyl collection.

I'm always willing to teach the press about George Clinton and Bootsy Collins.
