KFC v. BMW: Thatcher Wins

I can't believe that I've lived long enough to witness an entire political cycle.

Back in cruel eighties, one of Thatcher's most vindictive manoeuvres against the working classes involved the systematic destruction of British industry with the intention of deskilling the workforce and migrating them into the low-paid service sector.

Almost three decades later, imagine the joy she'd feel at the news that there are job losses at BMW whilst junk food peddlars KFC are expanding.

Would you like fries with that?
