      Why thankfully? The good points are just the same, the bad points have just had the words changed. One point when I fell over as a kid and howled, everyone came to see if I was alright. Now if a kid falls over, despite being First Aid trained, as a male, I walk away.

      London in the late 1950s ,60s and even the 70s was a great city. I always felt safe coming back from New Cross on the last train ,never any trouble. The West end on Saturday night was pure enjoyment. No one ever thought about getting attacked , mugged or stabbed. Mugging was something that happened in America, it could never happen in London. The copper was on his beat ,dressed like a police Constable in the blue uniform and helmet; now they look like a cross between a traffic warden and robo cop with those horrible yellow jackets and ever more gadgets hanging on their belt. Who ,then, could have guessed that everything could change so drastically and go so wrong?

      You should learn about how the British textile industry actually rose up. The historian H.H. Wilson wrote in 1853 that neither Manchester nor Paisley [i.e. Britain's industrial cotton textile economy] could have risen, even with steam power if the British had not systematically destroyed the compeition from the cheaper and superior quality Indian handloom cottons that had dominated the world market in the 18th Century. Indian cottons had revolutionized clothing for the European masses - cheap and comfortable - compared to woollens. Not only did the British impose huge tariff barriers [whilst preaching Free Trade], the turned India into a Captive Market for British goods [excluding foreign competition]. As Nick Robins confirms in his book on the East India Co. - the Brits also broke the fingers of Indian weavers and cut the thumbs of the best weavers of the finest Dhaka Muslins [which were highly prized and cost far more than silk]. A British Governor General commented that the plains of India are bleached with the bones of her weavers. The Brits banned industrial development in India [e.g. shipbuilding - the oldest seaworthy Royal Navy ship HMS Trincomalee was made in Indian in 1817 - and steelmaking - English experts stated that Indian wootz still was the best in the world in the 1790s] and turned India into a plantation whilst looting both her wealth [profits of India's exports] and foodgrains [killing tens of millions in dozens of manmade famines]. Research published in 2018 by Columbia U.P. showed that the Brits looted at least $45 Trillion [17 times the entire UK GDP in 2018] from India - the very word 'loot' is Hindi - reflecting this history. This loot [Clive of India became the richest man in Britain and the EIC men the nouveau riche 'nobs' from nawabs] financed the Industrial Revolution and much of Britain's and other Western development [type Jason Hickell India into Google for his article on this].

      @smadge100 Because psychological healing takes time? All those years of oppression take a huge toll on the psyche and get passed down to generations. Heck, I'm still reeling in from my own childhood traumas and it's frustrating because as much as I have the potential to live a beautiful, successful life, my past traumas still hold me back! Most adults don't heal themselves and pass their shit down to their children which keeps them in a cycle of abuse & dysfunction for generations and with far-reaching effects - until they all start to heal collectively. These countries have not reached stellar states of perfection, but from what I see, most of them are making progress, albeit at a slow pace. But you're making it seem as though they're all regressing, which isn't the case. As far as technological advancement is concerned, the Japanese are far ahead of everyone. And you forgot to include Singapore, which was a 3rd world country even during the British period but after independence, they rose rapidly.

    "Progress" - how perniciously subjective.
    Supermarkets became just that one step _further_ away, from self sufficiency, than was ALREADY the case.
    Even corner shops had a slightly more pronounced sense of independence about them.
    Today, superstores/hypermarkets/shopping centres/online buying is more mainstream - even though [we] didn't *actually* ask for them to begin with.
    Even just standard supermarkets, didn't become the "main" cultural form of grocery/non food shopping, until about 1990.
    Complete and utter absence of individual identity.
