"Merseyside is a metropolitan county". The county council was abolished. Thatcher did all sorts of abolishing to centralise power in Westminster. The country was i such a perilous state it was ripe for take over and become a dictatorship.
Aren't we close to dictatorship now with Gordon's lot in power !! George Orwell's 1984 seems almost benign in comparison. They didn't teach me the meaning of sychophant at my upper class sec. mod. school. I had to look it up. My dictionary defines it as :
" As informer against those who exported figs contrary to the law in Athens".
A highly relevant epithet.
