Yes, years of an ineffective Labour government did that. It wasn't until Mrs Thatcher took control of the economy that the mood started to pick up.

- marcus_holmes 4y agoThat's a very one-sided telling of the story. Both Labour and Conservative governments struggled with the economic mess left behind by the war and the end of the empire. And the long-term negative effects of Thatcher's legacy (much like Reagan's in the states) are being felt now. The homeless situation is (in large part) a product of Thatcher selling off public housing and turning actual care into "community care".
