Sweet f**king Jesus, BB is being cloned.
But I am right aren’t I.
Around 1965, there was a murder in Balby. It was the TV news headline for a week. Nowadays a murder in Doncaster might not even hit the front page of the Doncaster Free Press.That is a fact that goes against statistics.

Hence, people view the decade in which they were in their 20’s as ‘the best’. It was also to show that, when presented with hard facts and evidence, people are still extremely reluctant to change their view. Human nature I’d guess. Maybe the 1960’s were great for you. However that doesn’t disguise the fact that statistical assessment tells us we are now a richer, more peaceful and more tolerant society.Richer? Then how come there are foodbanks and people sleeping in doorways? There was none of that in the 60s. More peaceful? Have a walk round the town centre on a Friday or Saturday night. More tolerant? Have you seen the attitude of Remainers over the last 3 years?

BST, you see this is where you let yourself down. I present you with a fact, and you get all hot and bothered and start getting aggressive. Then, you have the cheek to order ME to look at records to prove me wrong! The whole point of my post is to point out that actual facts can go against statistics and you want ME to look at some f**king stats! It's also interesting how your first thought is to compare the standards of living back then by the amount of cash we had. It seems that money is of more importance to you than it is to us tight old bas**rds who have "pulled the rope up".I don't care what you can find statistically to prove your point, it is far, FAR more dangerous to walk down the streets of Doncaster now than it was 40 years ago.

It happens quite regularly where murders don't make the front page of the Free Press, and even less regular when they are headlined on TV.
If it didn’t make the headlines then we probably wouldn’t know about it, would we?
HA.Yeah but you're cheating bringing facts into the discussion.
