“No true civilisation could have produced such a town, which is nothing better than a huge dingy dormitory” - J. B. Priestley on Gateshead
“Blairism without caring about the causes of crime” - Dominic Cummings on the 2019 Tory manifesto

“In his sleek black BMW…”
“Many of these communities were completely devastated, with people out of work turning to drugs and no real work because all the jobs had gone” - Norman Tebbit on the impact of the closing of the mines.
