and transformation from metal bashing to a service economy which was painful but right
If I could pick one hole in what you say - the UK remains the fourth-largest industrial exporter in the world. While the unions lost jobs galore, the UK actually became a great deal more efficient and retained a good position as an industrial economy.

However, the media has not noticed, the the unions disagree with everyone on principle anyway!
