Not gone, replaced by call centres, the care industry, catering, low-skilled assembly, retail (where decent full time jobs and sensible hours have been reduced to part time and zro hours contracts) warehouse and delivery work.
The tragedy is that we really needed Labour now, not least to have a chance of rescuing the NHS, but the did a dreadful job of making what should have been an easy pitch (which, it has to be said, New Labour made a good start on privatising which has been enthusiastically carried on by the Conservatives).
