Rickets, thalidomide, police brutality, the Krays giving you a Glasgow smile for looking at them wrong, but no black faces.

And there will still be some stubborn refusal to acknowledge that modern digital economies are why high streets are so blandly homogeneous now rather than some cultural marxist plot.

I'm sure those with broken caps lock buttons are bots, anyone who isn't surely has realised it's now become a joke.

The good old days really DID exist! Brits and Americans were at their happiest in the 1920s and after the end of WW2 - and at their unhappiest in the 'winter of discontent' and after Vietnam

How much more civilized everything was back then! And some people call what we have today "progress." They have no idea what has been lost. Very Sad Indeed.

Yeah, modernists will come along with their 'statistics' and 'facts' to 'prove' that it's no less safe now than it was back then

They smelt of pubs, Wormwood Scrubs and too many right wing meetings. Its not as if the pictures are particularly nostalgia inducing. Its some people on the Tube when it wasn't quite so good as now. They are all white though which is probably the trigger.

And didn't their father draft dodge, and didn't they abscond from national service?

[The Red Arrow]

Yebbut they loved their mum.

There was perhaps less knife crime then.
Balance that against "Nailing grasses heads to the table" crime, "Pulling debtors tows off with pliers" crime and "shooting people at short range" crime.

[karlt]

Fucking unbelievable aren't they?

[Boiler]

Funny how nobody remembers Charlie Richardson though, isn't it?
