If this is indeed going to be the case, which I do not believe, then at least Britain continued to survive and sometimes thrive for decades after the tumultuous period of the 1980s.
I hold firm to the belief that the economy of the United Kingdom in the 1970s was no different to Italy today. I don't think Britain would have survived a Denis Healey-inspired, Michael Foot-led Labour Government.
