Crash By clobbering the trade unions the Tories have defended the That's why we had the great crash of 1929. That's we had the mass unemployment of the thirties. That's why whole sections of the British economy have been laid to waste. Without doubt all things utable the excessive power of the unions and have nothing to do with the employers and their government which is runnIng une silow.
