Did anyone catch this?

Great section on the UK car industry and the detrimental effect of trade unions. Interesting.

Of course. But history seems to have overwritten it. Each time, Labour get the country up st street by giving out freebies. People like freebies but don't realise nothing is free. They just go 'Gur! Free money!' So the Conservatives get the bad press when they try to sweep up the pieces.

30 years on and pretty much nothings changed...

I don’t know how intentional that view is but, the series draws massive parallels with modern Britain.

Watched all of the programmes so far. Excellent series.
