No-one's saying those days of 60 years ago were perfect but any sane pertson knows they were a whole lot superior to the mess of a society we're presently living in. But yes they were "good old days" - a good old days where suicide rates hadn't gone through the roof , where the murder rate was about 20th of what it is today, where violent crime in general was similarly a fraction of the size, where you didn't need to turn your house into Fort Knox to stop it getting burgled, where you could walk the streets (anywhere) at night without risking a beating or worse, where old people weren't terrified inside their homes, where private companies didn't charge ridiculous rates for basic utilities to line their own pockets, where an ever-growing number of the youth weren't being driven out of their minds by street drugs, a good old days free of ridiculous manufactured politically correct hysteria over racism and "homophobia" where a tiny minority of middle class liberals try to foist their peculiar attitudes on the rest of the population... I could go on but I don't think even Jeff Pollitt and Kevin Brown actually really believe things are better now - although deluded people like this believe if they tell themselves something enough it might be true.
