Apart from the Miners strike...and the steelworkers strike.....and the Poll Tax strike..and the Greenham protests. Mark Steel ha a piece in the Independent about Corby - a whole town killed by Thatcherite policy..not a million miles away from one of the largest archaeological excavations carried out in the 1980s. I guess a lot of archaeologists didn't realise what was happening on their doorstep....
With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
