Labour gets accused of being in the Unions pockets, yet this was a Labour administration helped to have been brought down by Unions in 1978/9.

I say Labour administration because it wasn't a majority Labour govt,it had the support of the LIberals in Parliament until 1978,it had no overall majority from late 1976 and so in effect was a party in office that could only govern with the will of Parliament as to what it could do.


Also, in 1978/1979 the mass of the Labour party under James Callaghan was in no way anti Europe, we had just had 3 years earlier a vote by the UK to be in Europe by a solid majority.

This is Not about T. Heath
I am on topic with you Fecking Failed Socialism
1978 Rubbish all over OUR streets


Callaghan Laughed at Thatcher
saying she will not beat me.
