Industrial closures—British Leyland and Motorola in Bathgate, Polkemmet and Levi’s in Whitburn, Continental Tyres in Newbridge and, more recently, Halls of Broxburn, to name but a few—have had a profound and lasting impact in many of the towns in my region, and have had a life-changing impact on the people who lost their livelihoods. The reality is that the sons and daughters of Thatcher who sit on the Conservative seats and who worship the neo-liberal creed care not a jot for the plight of people and communities.
