briefly sneaking back into the limelight to express political philosophies that say "if you don't want to break eggs, don't make omelettes".
In many ways a sensible philosophy. I yearn for a return to the days of miners coming up from pits for Hovis and Marmite, communities of caring neighbours helping each other, our taxes at 95p in the pound (as they were in 1965) to fund the loss making huge factories, vast blocks of council flats...
Where did it all do wrong? Maggie, of course, filthy capitalist who "brought greed into business" as Hatton is saying.
What a shame he wasn't PM. We'd be SO much happier today.

Oh, you have to like Degsy, because he doesn't care what people think!

and now we fund loss making banks and private housing for ITK's legions of ill-educated scroungers.

a vast improvement.
