<!-- EDIT BELOW THIS LINE -- The 1980s are renowned for their impact on a vast scale of things such as fashion, technology, and of course music. But something You might have not heard of was the economical situation for people in Britain during the 1980s. The 1980s was a period of economic volatility. There was a deep recession in 1981 as the government tried to control inflation. The recession particularly hit manufacturing causing unemployment to rise to over 3 million (. Unemployment did not fall until the mid and late 1980s when the economy boomed during the “Yuppie-years” of rising wages, rising house prices, and a stock market boom. However, this “Lawson Boom” proved to be short-lived with inflation returning and eventually causing the recession of 1991/92. Many believed the cause for such economic downfall was Margaret Thatcher, Prime Minister Of The United Kingdom between 1979 to 1990 under the Conservative party, and was hated by members of the working class. Many speculate that the reason for such hatred towards her (Especially in Liverpool ) was because she closed most factories and ship docs, for example, in the early 1980s she closed a Blue Eyes Factory making at least 1000 people lose their jobs.

Liverpool

Liverpool was known for its export industry and was a "doc city" as some called it, and when Marget Thatcher started closing all of the docs and investing money in building (attempting to switch the prime source of income from export to tourism) many lost their jobs, and it wasn't just docs, she closed factories making the national textile industry decrease in popularity. Due to this many people of the working class changed political parties from Conservative to Labour (the other majority party in the UK).
