Was that a party political broadcast on behalf of the Conservative party?
That's odd though AL, because the prevalence of murder isn't much higher now than it was 50 years ago. And it's a lot, lot lower than it was 20 years ago.Here's a thought. Maybe YOU have got older. Maybe YOU were shocked as a 14 year old to hear about murder, just as I was. Then as you get older, there's a cumulative effect that numbs you.Just a thought.

No-one had owt worth nicking eh?Kind of refutes your claim that things were better back then BB.
Really amusing that you think we Socialists only care about money.Yeah when millions of kids are living in poverty. When the North has been starved of money for the last 10 years, so the infrastructure had gone to pot. When Brexiteers blame the EU for all this, rather than look at how the Tories have operated and then swallowed their lies hook line and sinker and voted to Make things worse.

We might have been poorer financially back then but people, in general, seemed happier despite having nowt worth nicking. Most of us have a better standard of living nowadays, but a lot less value of it.
Have you wondered if the reason for the drop in the number of murders now might be down to fewer people going out, rendering village streets virtually empty?
