Where Are They Now?
23 Answers
Years ago, during the time of Thatcher I think, there was a Stakhanovitican plaster who claimed to be doing very well by dint of hard work.
What became of him? Is he enjoying his retirement on some Spanish Costa or did he work himself to death chasing the Thatcherite dream?

Davebro,
You better start looking for the harness for that unicorn.
A few days after I moved into my present home I noticed the clothes line in the back garden slowly sinking to the ground. It was the only thing holding the back fence up and it had gradually gave way under the strain.
The man I got to fix the fence, on the recommendation of a neighbour, was both a elder in his church and a serving police officer.
When I paid him in cash and said he could avoid the attention of the tax man, he gave me a withering look.

//there was a Stakhanovitican plaster// Eh?
stakhovite - someone who workd an extra shift for nought - doomed apparently because it is doesnt increase productivity. Altho I would have thought it did.
Stakhanov was the fella and he is here

anyone who followed his lead was a stakhanovite
There was a fascinating bio-doc about a girl 17 who did that and was selected for the 1929 Communist Congress. She survived the Purges, the second world war and lived to tell her tale ( high point of her life) in the nineties.
The I'm Backing britian campaign- in the year of the heart transplant so that makes it - - 1968 - was one. That fizzled out as all the pointy headed intellectuals at Oxbridge said it would.
Oh and the policeman looked boogey because offering cash in these circs is an obvious 'integrity' test ( say yes and you get fired) and he was looking as tho to say - "you, how did they get YOU to do this?"

Stackhanov was, apparently the inspiration for the horse ‘Boxer’ in Animal Farm ‘ Boxer, a horse, is a tragic hero. He is a hard worker, strong, loyal and caring. He also fights bravely against the humans. Unfortunately, he is too loyal, the pigs take advantage of this and work him until he collapses. Then they sell him to the horse slaughterer so that they can buy more whisky’
