No mass speed cameras,proper telly,no one gave a toss about saying anything and blokes weren't generally wet and afraid of everything.
No green s
te,no mass h+s and you didn't have to wear protective equipment to walk through a warehouse. Oh,and no one was a wimp about 3rd hand smoke.
Good times.

You must agree that the internet is a change that you like?

It was especially the race riots that you liked, wasn't it? Brixton, Moss Side, Toxteth, Handsworth. Oh, and the miners' strike, of course.No mass speed cameras,proper telly,no one gave a toss about saying anything and blokes weren't generally wet and afraid of everything.

Still, at least there was no risk from terrorism. Oh, wait a sec.
And as for "proper telly" - a fourth channel for some of the decade, and the novelty factor of being able to watch tv first thing in the morning, instead of the test card. Woo. So what were the highest rated TV shows...? Charles & Di's wedding, the royal variety performance, Benny Hill, This is your life, Blind Date, Question of Sport, Minder... oh, and Eastenders started! http://www.barb.co.uk/resources/tv-facts/tv-since-... - ah, yes, truly a zenith of modern popular culture...
Yes, and a Government that underfunded State education and the NHS, encouraged low regulation of financial markets, made choices about housing supply that still haunt us now, sold off public asserts for a few quid, and sowed the seeds of the socio-economic divisions that now fracture the UK. Yep! Great times!

Which suggests that we have muslims trying to kill us that have nothing to do with ISIS.Er...., you do know that newsthump is a satire site, er, don't you?
PS: yes we do - many of them are Brits. Some of them aren't Brits. Some IRA dudes were born in Britain, some in Ireland. The main IRA dude to whom I am related (I am related to lots of IRA dudes) was the son of a British Army officer and was born on the Isle of Wight, but he still turned into a crazed Fenian nutjob.
Edit : Isle of White, derrrrr - too much dungeons and dragons!

There is no problem with you breeding, as long as the country is aware of any changes this may bring to the country both demographically and economically.
What changes would they be then? How old are you? I'm mid-40s. Would I want to go back to the 1970s, when I grew up? Christ, no. Change can be good.

I have recently found two fabulous satire feeds - one is from some place called 10 Downing Street, the other from some place called The White House. Comedy Gold, I tell you!
I found the White House one a bit ridiculous to be honest, a megalomaniac with a Twitter addiction and a huge combover being President, yeah whatever.Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
