Where did I say otherwise? Please stop putting words into my mouth and making a straw man to suit yourself.
The statement which Gurny made was that this current time is the “most catastrophic period of political leadership this country has ever seen.” This could mean many things besides just the economy. Undoubtedly the economic crises of the 70s plays a role, but equally the upheaval now has many things the 70s didn’t. PMs, chancellors and cabinet members are being upturned at a faster rate, which gives a more unstable impression of governance. Therefore, there is an argument here for the political leadership being more catastrophic than the 70s.
Regardless, it’s an opinion, not a sodding fact. Which was my point. Yet you keep trying to argue that the 70s were tough for many, or that I am arguing against there being a strong case for the 70s being worse for chaos and catastrophe, despite me clearly stating on two occasions now that I am not putting forward my own opinion on which is worse. Stop misrepresenting me for once. I don’t think my words are this unclear, and I specifically state that I am not making an argument in favour of one over the other. I repeat, it was solely over semantics, since the statement is not a fact.
