Unfortunate analogy, HG - hope of democratic change swiftly gives way to economy and politics run by gangsters. Remember who was in power on both sides the Altantic in 1982, and how debt/gdp and money supply/gdp soared from then on, leading to where we are now. Lab and Con are the Walrus and the Carpenter, we are the Oysters.
All hopping through the frothy waves,
And scrambling to the shore., S?
This time, it's going to be different.
The triumph of hope over experience? Or will a white-nostrilled Prince Hal mutate into a mighty king?
Debt and money supply soared from then on, Sackers?
iirc, it took a little longer than that; in fact I believe even the early years of El Gordo were not too bad in those respects.
Willing to be corrected by facts, as ever.
