Great Britain in the 1960’s was more ambitious, more forward looking in manufacturing inventive new products and less concerned with political correctness and stifling free speech than today. Oh, how I wish we could replicate those attitudes and ambitions today.

@lionelburch3697 4 ай бұрын

Yes, free speech, that's an interesting idea, jailing homosexuals, racism - no blacks, no Irish displayed in windows, Kray twins running amoc in East London - mega corruption in the Metropolitan Police, working class people lucky to see 70 after a life of arduous toil, while the wealthy and idle royalty followed debauched lives while telling the working classes to behave themselves. Yes the 60's was a great time, provided you were wealthy.

I lived through the 60’s but don’t remember it in those positive lights. We had the eras of politicians like Heath and Wilson. MacMillan had a high moral compass but was living a life 40 years out of date. We had industries which were critically inefficient; it was industries from coal and steel through motorcycles, cars and white goods which were so poor that they allowed countries like Germany and Japan to come into our market with goods so superior in quality that it was the start of the end for these industries. We had social inequality no different, and possibly worse, than today. Certainly the gap between the establishment and working people was so large that it seemed unbridgeable. There was still a degree of respect for the establishment which defied all logic. A Duke, an Earl, a barrister, a banker seems to be put upon pedestals just because of their perceived social status. Cars were a rarity for most people. TV’s only became common at the end of the decade. The same with fridges. So many women had to stay at home because the chores of housework and shopping occupied so much of their time. Indeed, it was almost frowned upon to be a working mother “why aren’t you at home looking after your children?” Healthcare was still rudimentary. My mother died on 1966 of a disease eminently treatable 30 years later. Everybody smoked and everywhere stank of smoke. The 60’s did see the start of some good things, particularly for the younger people but it also say the Vietnam war which did so much to harm the reputation of democracies throughout the world. In conclusion, the 60’s (or the 50’s or the 80’s or now) were not the epitome of good life. They had every aspect from better to worse. We can’t go back even if we wanted to; why not put our efforts into making the present better for all?

Nothing's 'stifling free speech'. You're free to _say_ whatever you want, but so is everyone else. Just, don't be surprised if you get a negative response if you express opinions that are mean or misled. There isn't any kind of law, except against the sort of dangerous hate speech that causes things like the Farage hate riots a few weeks back.

I was born at the end of 1949 in Coventry. Even into the 1960s evidence of the war was all over. Bomb craters abounded, and were wonderful things to play in. Unexploded bomb and shells turned up regularly in gardens and on construction sites. Pock marks from shrapnel could be seen in many walls. But the 1960s was a time of optimism that better things lay ahead. There was an explosion of creativity in music, fashion and technology. It was a great time to be a teenager.

Whenever I watch videos like this, I am transported to a time and place I know nothing about. I was born on a Caribbean island that was British ruled until 1962. But the British influence didn’t stop overnight. As a child in primary school in the 70s, our books and poems and everything else were still British based. I still remember William Wordsworth’s ‘Daffodils’ that I learned in the third grade. I still recall the English Reader A, B, C, D, E, series. I remember reading about the white cliffs of Dover, beautiful English gardens and cottages and always yearned to see the England described in my childhood books. In high school in the 80’s, I still hoped to see a little of that England. I’m not trying to be disrespectful in anyway, but that England doesn’t exist anymore. I am now in my 50’s and an immigrant in the USA for decades, and I am so grateful.

Not sure where you're from but I think your perception of British cuisine dates from half a century ago. If "bangers and mash and bubble and squeak" is your thing then it's easy enough to make. I'm guessing more people eat "British Sunday Roast" at a pub rather than at home nowadays. Not sure what you count as 'family values' and how they've eroded. Always seems like a pretty vague term to me.

I was born in Dec. 1945 thanks to Hitler starting WWII, and my parents joining the RAF, and started to explore where I lived aged about 5 years old. I really enjoyed my childhood growing up living on the S coast of the Isle of Wight, and exploring the leftovers of WWII with bunkers, radar stations, and many German things like belt buckles, and other items at swapped at school, and still have a about 6 Pfennigs stashed away somewhere in the attic from those days. So come 1950 then 5 years old is when most of my memories are, and had a great childhood back in those happy and just about carefree days. Then the 1960's appeared, and joined the RAF at 15 after leaving school as a Boy Entrant (now scrapped), in Sept 1961 (1961-1975) for 18 months training at RAF Cosford Wolverhampton , then my first posting at Leighton Buzzard, and they were mostly good years, but life went a bit down hill then with strikes and cars named Dagenham Dustbins because of their quality and things have got worse since then, and now we have life today with that twonk Starmer in charge demanding changes to this country to turn it into some 5th world county with his nonsensical plans....

I just came from watching the 1950's version. Very similar nostalgic comments. Fact is, it isn't that earlier decades were better, it's that you were younger. On any level you care to measure things are better now than ever before. I appreciate that won't be the common perception. But it's true. The world we live in now would appear amazing back in the 1960's (or 50's or 70's). Sometimes we fail to appreciate what we've got. I'm a child of the sixties and enjoyed my life back then. I could reproduce most of the experience by giving away most of my possessions, unplugging my fridge, dumping my phone etc but it wouldn't make me younger. I'll stay in the 2020's thanks. Because of the technology I can look back when I want to and even send a link to a friend 3,000 miles away. Back in the sixties this would be the amazing future we'd dream of, and now we're here. We are living on the Starship Enterprise and don't even see it.

Corporate communism that corporate fascist conservatives adopted, for their corporations and their rich politicians / rich friends; its just capitalism with their feudal owners in control; while mass importing "cheap" labor to maximize profits, its why all these capitalistic countries are doing the same strategy. Regular single dictator communism.. this idea wouldnt work, by importing, they would still be stuck in the same time frame as of now, same people, same poor people.

It's based on newsreels of the time. It's all the things that affected life in Britain. What people saw on the news, what they would have celebrated, worried about, or talked about. The breakup of the Empire and the threat of nuclear war is certainly relevant to life in Britain at that time.
