British anons, what was Britain like in the 1970s?
>>533117248Dunno, I was like 2 at most.
>>533117248That's where we sent our fags, slags and bums.
>>533117248Better. It was just before we had to join the United States of Europe
Exactly like this https://youtu.be/oyD-yT0YeHQ?si=2CF2TE6-XIJb2p9-
>>533117372>DunnoThen why respond to this thread you retard?
>>533117372Boomer alert
Horrible. White people everywhere and British flags and British walked around happy.
>>533117248Like a mix between the Sweeny and Coronation street.Darkies where somewhat of an exotic species at the time. Music was great after 1976 till about mid 80s when the druggies came back.
>>533117873>Boomer alert>born in the 70s
>>533117248Grim. Factories burning coal, everywhere stank, hyperinflation, everyone on strike, terrible food, freezing weather, post-WWII bomb sites still dotted about, awful clothes, shitty phone service, only three TV channels, terrible housing stock, low wages, crappy public transport, orange street lighting, electricity blackouts, appalling coffee, public buildings covered in soot.
>>533117248Anyone really in any position to tell you would be in their 60s or 70s at this point.Do you really think we have a bunch of 60 and 70 year olds running around here?
>>533117873Boomer = White and why yes I am Rajesh.Born in 1962
>>533118260But comfy and with a shared idea of the future.
>>533117855The only brown was Bungle the bear
>>533117903Yeah we had to walk because cars wouldn't start in the winter. Damp spark plugs. Car exhaust was rich and sickly full of lead. Black diesel smoke from buses and lorries. Trains so filthy a cloud of dust rose from the seats when you sat down. People didn't wash because too expensive to heat water. Draughty windows. Everywhere was damp because heating was a two-bar electri fire.
>>533117386Irish navvies digging up the road. Drunk Irish scum stealing and killing each other. IRA bombing our streets.
>>533118307>60I'm 63 you little cunt
Jimmy Saville was fucking EVERYTHING that moved plus rampant physical and psychological abuse was fairly common in schools I heard
>>533120161Based, I'm 45 so, honestly, you being here makes me feel better about my own presence.
>>533117248Dirty and grim bit with real characters.Spoiled by the industrial action in factories and then in the coal mines. It was sad because even by then the writing was on the wall for English culture.
>>533117372Based 1972 vintage
>>533120161I'm 60 - what's the problem?
TV in the 80s made it look crap.
>>533117248It was less gay and more straight.
>>533120394Yes teachers would beat the shit out of kids for funhttps://youtu.be/ghAErjGuDT8?si=adl-W7_W70xG27d3
>>533121046Was it less gay and more straight?
>>533117248I don't know but from the way the boomers at work describe it it seems pretty fun. And these are otherwise conservative working class boomers, so if they were able to enjoy themselves then I can imagine it was fun for everyone. But they always bang on about how hot it was on summer in the 70s. And the binmen striking.
>>53311724880% were extremely racist, and all of them were struggling with poverty and plumbing issues. Kids were do bored that they invented trainspotting. It was basically a third world country.
>>533121312>Was it less gay and more straight?yes - poofs were openly laughed at
>>533117248see >>533121568I told you >>533121193It was less gay and more straight.
>>533121312Poofs faced a beating and were generally despised.
>>533121046Welcome fellow oldster.
>>533120161How did they reconcile losing the British mandate of Palestine? Is it different than in America where Jews are inherently tied to Israeli nationalism? Always thought the Sargent affair would have made some permanent wounds on top of the loss. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sergeants_affair
>>533120660Never apologise for your age, celebrate getting this far.
>>533122101>Welcome fellow oldster.I'm 1965 so I am a GenX and proud
>>533121312There was the beginning of glam rock and a lot of the queers started dressing in high heels and liberace style faggotry. >>533122260Nobody wanted the Palestinian mandate, the british just did SOMETHING as opposed to standing there with their cock in their hands, like the french.
>>533121174All I know about U.K. I learned from watching The Young Ones.
>>533122260>1947Even before my time lad However I do recall there was controversy surrounding support for Israel when Menachem Begin was Israeli PM in the 80sA quote he made at the time of the murder of the British soldiers was 'my heart has a holiday when one of them is killed' . Thatcher was the MP for a largely jewish area of London so such past history was buried.The UK, France and Israel were allied during the Suez operation as there was at the time still wartime links with jews in the British establishment who had been allies with us fighting Germany so the situation was complex really.The British state forgets about terrorists once they become 'respectable' as it currently does with the ex head of the IRA, Gerry Adams.
>>533122666>beginning of glam rock and a lot of the queers started dressing in high heels and liberace style faggotry.Nothing to do with queers anon, it was just the fashion at the time.
>>533122401Good man, least you have seen the country before the great take over of 1997
>>533122998Everyone i saw wearing that shit then is a faggot now. Checkmate.
>>533123116>least you have seen the country before the great take over of 1997I think that's why it affects us a lot more, we saw what it was like before.
>>533123156Whatever
>>533118221That's old nigga, I'm 30 and I'm old
>>533122340Damn right I do.It's like I always say, the only thing worse than getting older is not getting older.
>>533121379Shalom
>>533123237It does, we know all the excuses for it are bullshit but they make the younger generation swallow it. What I see is the worst consequence is how well they have tamed the young not to ask questions and say fuck off.The way millions way younger than me went along with the Covid shite actually shocked me more than anything. This was nothing to do with wogs or jews either
>>533117248Piss poor and shit. Next question?
>>533123723We had so much more freedoms though.We all used to carry sheath knives, even as 10 year olds.I don't know if you had an adventure playground near you but they would be banned today, health and safety wouldn't allow it.We could also talk about going to the Paki shop, laugh at poofs (doing the limp wrist thing) without people glaring at us. We had Punks, Mods, Skinheads, Greasers, later on the New Romantics, Goths, etc.Today the kids just wear hoodies and pretend they are from the Bronx - listening to shitting rap from their tinny iPhones.
>>533124351>shitYou are a wog aren't you?
>>533117248Everybody was skint, the pubs were always busy, there were zero wogs, pakis or jeets where I lived (didnt see my first wog in real life till the early 80's. The only wogs I had ever seen were on TV like the fuckers on ROOTS and Daley Thomson.We used to shout "Kuntakintay" at each other and make whiplash sounds and shout "Your name is Toby"). The neighbours used to be allowed to give you a beating if they caught you fucking about and you just kept your mouth shut because your parents would beat you too if they found out.Big hairy fannys were in the porn mags, It gave me a love of big hairy fannys, I talked the wife out of shaving her fanny as soon as I married her. Three day working week and the Labour spastics going on strike at the drop of a hat.Good times and bad times OP.More good than bad.
>>533117248It was a literal failed state.
>>533124434Things have dulled to fuck now. The young look up to nogs and there was some of that in my era. They are looking up to people who would be classified as mentally deficient by our standards and they don't seem to get it.I lived in a rural area in the 70s and we'd go out with 4.10 shotguns shooting rabbits and no one gave a fuck. Imagine the horror now.
>>533124486And you could smoke everywhere.
>>533124486Was Thatcher a cunt or did Labour have it coming?
>>533124879Thatcher was one of the best PMs we ever had.(Unless you are a Northerner from pit country) But she wasn't to blame for the mines . . .it was the unions, who also killed off our car industry along with many others.
>>533124834Yep, nearly everybody smoked.I smoked for 40 years before I managed to quit. First 20 years I loved it then the next 20 years trying to quit. The smoking hooks go deep anon.
>>533117248Watch Withnail and I.
>>533125225Or Scum
>>533125140I started smoking in 1977 and I still smoke. Kids could get a light off an adult and ten fags cost 28.5p
>>533124879BothThere was a failed commie uprising, led by middle class lefties of course, in the 70s. The tory reaction was to go burger style free market without burger personal freedoms or the vast resources of the USA. Thatcher open the country up like a Thai prostitute to the highest bidders on the international money markets who at that time when Arab oil billionaires. The greedy tories were happy to take their money but the wogs extracted a price in the form of opening the country to islam.
>>533125100>Thatcher was one of the best PMs we ever had.I actually think you are being serious
>>533125100Factory workers would deliberately sabotage cars to get back at management so British cars were unreliable. They rusted away within 18 months. I remember you could still crank start a car in winter.
>>533124879Thatcher was a cunt, she killed all the heavy industry but Labour made Thatcher inevitable.Looking back now, I would rather have Thatcher than any of the creepy lying wankers we have now.Thatcher was a cold, hard bastard but at least she was an honest bastard that everybody knew what she stood for.I never knew I was skint until Thatcher came to power and made borrowing money easy as fuck.
>>533125366>but the wogs extracted a price in the form of opening the country to islamI think that was after Thatchers time.>>533125486Yes I am>>533125493Yes they did and the constant strikes were ridiculous, trying to price themselves out of the market
>>533125564>Thatcher came to power and made borrowing money easy as fuck.Again I think that came later.At that time, there weren't loads of finance companies, you could get HP or would have to get a bank loan.
>>533125650>I think that was after Thatchers time.It wasn't The Al Yamamah BAE arms deal - biggest in UK history - was brokered by among others by Mark Thatcher. He was lucky not to go to jail for literal bribery.
>>533125265Or The Knowledge
>>533125650>Yes I amYou are a dimwit then
>>533117866He’s 2 give em a break
>>533125991I suppose you always vote Labour?Just like your father and his father before him.
>>533126064Old enough to have the accent
>>533126146Never voted labour in my fucking life - I did vote tory once to keep a labour mong from becoming my local MP. I voted BNP during their era.
>>533125564What are your thoughts on Thatcher's Poll Tax?
>>533126354We had no BNP presence down here (West Country) browns were never a problem for us.I've always voted Tory except at the last two elections.I'm disillusioned with Reform but they may have a bigger chance than Restore but we have a few years yet, so I'll wait and see.>>533126508>What are your thoughts on Thatcher's Poll Tax?It was a big mistake.Rumour has it , hat the Queen had a few harsh words, behind the scenes too.
>>533121379But we managed to hang on to our foreskins, so there's that.
>>533121193>It was less gay and more straight.Westerners like to bitch about how hard the 1970s were, with the stagflation and oil shocks and labor unrest. How spoiled it turns out Westerners have been. The 1970s are utopia compared to the entire 21st century. In the 80s, with the neoliberal revolution of Thatcher and Reagan, it became hip to bash on the quaint ways of the 1970s, like labor activism and not being pro-cosmopolitan and women not being half the workforce yet and no-fault divorce not being fully implemented yet or so new as to still be questioned as to its morality. But the neoliberal turn was a major wrong turn. The materialism unleashed in the 80s was the West signing its own death warrant, with the UK and the US being the first signatories. The crisis of the 1970s could have been handled differently. Okay, maybe Bill Gates wouldn't have become so rich if neoliberal ideology had not been enacted in policies. And the digital revolution would have occurred more slowly. And overpriced pensions and benefits for the public would have been cut more slowly, costing governments more taxes overall.But the bailouts of the banks in 2008 and 2020 cost $20 trillion for the US alone. So what money did we save by going full-bore neoliberal?It was just a "get richer quick" scheme for elites tired of social democracy in Europe and of the New Deal in America. They wanted to reverse the economic gains of workers and ordinary people, and do so as fast as possible, and they succeeded. The cost was Western values and morals, decent societies, multiculturalism for cheap labor, moral hazard from banks whose executives know they'll be bailed out of any trouble, etc. The other road would have cost more upfront, but saved more long term. That wasn't an option for those seeking instant gratification.

>>533122722You're being manipulated by a jewish ratbastard called Ben Elton if you think The Young Ones represents Great Britain in the 70's.Ben Elton is one of the well-poisoning jews that destroyed Great British Comedy with his "alternative " comedy shite that was pushed in the 80's.Watch Bernard Manning or better yet Mike Read if you want a flavour of Great Britain at it's best.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7_d7YxBkr8

>>533117248Britain died in the 70s. What we live in now is like a bombed out building turned into a shop front where you sell the idea of the old house without any of the old bricksThe 70s basically the last era of a Britain which had always existed but after the war was basically finished and dying and is now long dead. It was the last of industrial Britain where the working class had both a stake and a say in how the country was run. Christianity would was still on its last legs but punk came in to thoroughly put two fingers up to the past and say no more of that. In a way it is fascinitating because the remains of the old times exist but Britain really was totally fucked by that point, it looked exactly like a country which had been blown to bits by war an never recovered https://youtu.be/y6gslO3Xl8s?si=M_IUqFAC6E_MLDToI'm a zoomer so I might be talking out my arse but the 70s seems to me the bridge between the old britain and the modern britain. It was fucked beyond repair but it at least had some vestige of the real Britain
>>533132020>so I might be talking out my arseIndeed you are.The late 90s was the true downfall.
>>533118260Yes but we were at least white. Fuck modern Britain. Loads of good cultural movements came from here since then up until the 90s. What do we have now, fucking grime? Ed Sheeran? Fuck off.
>>533118260>orange street lightingIt was comfy mercury vapour in those days. The horrible sodium ones came in the late 80s,
>>533132020>a country which had been blown to bits by war an never recoveredYou are exactly right. No one "won" apart from...
>>533132348If your only complaint about Britain is demographic change then yeah but what would lead to the mindset that would allow for that demographic shift to happen begun in the 70s and was implemented in the 80s I.e globalisation, free market, a preference for business solutions over government ones and importantly the idea the government had nothing to do with british culture and that markets knew better.All that would make mass migration inevitable. Thatcher makes Blair inevitable. But also from a culture standpoint there is a mass shift towards individualism, consumerism, decline in religion, overspending on American goods etc. Even if there were no nogs or joe daki's the country would still be fucked because of those things
Corrr me red hot POINIS inside Ash Sarkar's fookin piping hot arris
>>533125493I always thought the (sad) story of the Rover SD1 rusting because someone "accidentally" reverse polarity the galvanising dip(?) sounded more like industrial sabotage.Good job you stupid commie fucks.
>>533133294Nah.Major gave rise to Blair and let's face it Blair was unlike anyone we had seen before, he was a real showman. Other problems happened as a result in the late 90s. We had shitloads of Eastern Euros imported, which harmed the economy.For example. Working Saturdays was often time and a half - Sundays double time - Bank holidays double time and a day off in lieu.The unions spent years working for this bust the Euros didn't need it, they were earning multiples of what they would earn in their own countries, with much better standards, so all the goodies went away. Construction suffered as they would heavily undercut native workers, who had mortgages and families . . .most of the Euros at that time, lived 10 to a house and sent most of their money home. There was a lot more too but it's 4chan and sometimes political debate is often wasted.
>>533117248I lived there until I was six, It felt like the centre of the universe. We left for the Europe In 1977 which by comparison was a cultural backwater.
>>533118260Still more comfy than the 90s and onward.
>>533132348We had slop like Friends and Sex in the City or whatever it's called, SPice Girls "Girl Power", "Based" programs like Goodness Gracious Me and Gimme Gimme Gimme starting the normalisation process of The Current Year.
>>533118927I remember the kerosene version of that.>>533120867Enoch Powell's Speech was a decade earlier so yeah. And White Riot by the Clash said ir all.
>>533118307>Do you really think we have a bunch of 60 and 70 year olds running around here?Don't tell him Pike.
>>533117866Why'd you post with a memeflag, faggot?
>>533117386Sent them to America
>>533117248Come to the UK, we're basically reliving the 1970s again right now.
Thatcher disowned British children by introducing the csa, which meant stopping population growth of the families that had build and maintained the country through every government.After Major stabbed her in the back to give his Masonic friend Soros £6b on 'black' wednesday 1992, the country was sold out entirely by the Blair Brown act that filled those spaces created by Thatcher with the freeloaders of the third world.
>>533136294>reliving the 1970s again right now.Up to a point, yes. High inflation, high taxes right now, and strikes. The 70s saw 26% inflation and sympathy strikes. The coal miners went on strike so the train drivers went on strike as well because coal was moved by train. The postmen went on strike because trains moved the mail too. The binmen went on strike because why not. Rubbish was piled 10ft high with rats everywhere. Then for some reason funeral directors went on strike. We couldn't bury the dead.That was the last straw for bongs and we voted in Thatcher who smashed the whole system to pieces. Banned strikes, privatised everything, abolished the 83% income tax rate (yes, mutts, 83%).The only nogs were colonials from the Carribbean so they weren't as bad as the dumb savages from Africa we have now. The pakis were from colonial India, not the child rapists from Afghanistan we have to put up with today.People had two parents and ate home cooked meals and kids TV was magical. It wasn't all bad in the 70s. But I wouldn't want to go back there.

>>533139548"Good night aye?" was about it. You were classed as a weirdo if you did not drinik in Scotland in the 70's

>>533139756Nice cold Tennent's lager sitting beside me right now watching Man utd getting beat. Happy days. All the best anon.
>>533133763Hadn't heard about the reverse polarity. Very devious. They used to shove a crushed coke can the the door panel so the car would rattle as soon as it was off the forecourt. The door seals were fitted so badly rain would enter the car. I remember seeing weeds growing out of a sodden carpet in a Maxi. If you owned a cortina your key would open other cortinas. And brown. Everything was brown. Brown cars, brown clothes, brown sofas. But bathrooms were avocado. Bloody hell the 70s were ugly as fuck.
>>533139955Checked. Don't quote me on it exactly but whatever the reason given was just didn't make sense. Like no one spotted it. As Clarkson said about the Range Rover, "A brilliant piece of design, ruined by Minkies"
>>533139955I just laughed out fucking loud man. You are 100% right. Brown was fucking everywhere them days. Brown flares and perms in and out Cortina's all day. Good days though.

>>533139548There was a news reader in the 70s who was often a bit squiffy. Here's a clip of him, with bonus TV ads featuring only White peoplehttps://youtu.be/GtQlVHODZqM?si=um7-dWopdlBdR6hk
>>533117248Similar to the 1980's but less gay and the mines were still open
>>533117248read Paul Theroux's Kingdom by the Sea. His travelogue of hiking through Britain in the late 70s.Even then there were entire towns just on the dole. The subsequent white replacement was understandable.
>>533117248Typical school day start, late 70s. Go down stairs, open kitchen door. Dad sitting at the kitchen table drinking tea and smoking. The room is filled with smoke and orange as sun light is pouring in through closed orange flowery curtains. Nuddie cullender on back of door. Wogan is on the radio. A salad bowl of corn flakes for breakfast with so much sugar on top it formed a crust. Sit with dad and eat while he munches on toast and continues to smoke. Comfy start to the day.
>>533142840Stop raping kids

>>533117248Judging from all the 1970s UK sex comedies I've watched recently, the majority of women in the 70s didn't have fake tits, fake teeth, fake tans, tattoos, lip fillers and other facial bogging like most of them do now so they were much more attractive On the downside, they all had massive hairy bushes, probably hairy arseholes too and quite a lot of them smoked cigarettes so they smelled badThe appearance of non-whites in these films was also like 1% or less, which is an obvious massive improvement over today
>>533140662If that is true then it is the case for every single rock band ever

>>533125100Thatcher was the original globalist, she sold off all our British industries to foreigners to make a quick quid in her pocket 45 years ago, look at the state of our country now, the only """industry""" is the financial banking sector in cuck-central Londonistan

If you play your cards right your reward is the 1980s, ruling the world, your culture rules, you rule the waves, take down Falklands and be James Bond on your way to your Spanish vacation before it was played out and maybe Australia. Then you get kids and a finance job and buy land outside of London. Genius. Sorry millennials lmao try again next life I got my estate where no Muzzies live.
