  • We know this country is now falling apart at the seams, and part of the problem is YOU sitting on your backside watching this video as if it means something because it's got the Queen and The Beatles in it. The pressing matter here is whether you can whistle and hum at the same time;
    • 'Ere mate? Can you whi...
    With all that said then, a disclaimer. If you get drawn into any arguments in the comments section, you've fallen down an algorithmic rabbit-hole from which there is no saving you. It's your own doing for consuming untold amounts of garbage prior to finding yourself on my channel. Here's some stuff I wrote before I, like yourself, disappeared into a barely noticeable stain on the arse-crack of time;
    "Subscribing to me at this point in history is utterly futile! Stop paying the BBC a licence fee, become a member of my channel for 99p a month, and with enough ongoing contributions I'll start turning around this hyper-inflated Sunak-infested weasel hole we now live in from a new honorary capital in the North, and we can all stop pretending the issue of gender/race is a hotter potato than it actually is. Did you know that Michael Gove recently claimed the government is not to blame for the country becoming poorer over the last three years? Yeah...and my name's Patricia Routledge.
    If you can't afford this 99p, just go play my latest video linked above, and do that every time you'd otherwise casually flick the TV on to have your brain filled with junk. Make the video go viral and leave the entire planet scratching its collective head as to why. If the Jehovah's Witnesses knock at your door, direct them towards my Spotify output. When a wet-eyed Ewan McGregor begs you for a blanket that the sun will destroy in 5 minutes, send me the £3 instead. Any and all revenues are going on building free-use bunkhouses across the North of England, number one to encourage genuine nomadic travel, number two to give a safe sheltering option to the homeless, number three to make a hot meal out of real food for someone who can't afford to put the oven on, number four to pull the plug out of the smug and turgid hospitality industry plus rendering Air B&B/Trivago/Booking.com bereft in the UK, number five to give a working studio space to people like me who have the zero-liability attritional genocide (ZLAG) sniper rifle trained on them. I could go on, and I will, until my last stinking breath.
    Don't wait for Starmer to save you, Sunak will probably curry enough favour to beat him anyway (no pun intended but arrived at through inherent comedy genius). Become a member of this channel, watch all the member-only videos, destroy the BBC through the simple act of not paying them, and reject the moribund two-party system that is only serving to drive you into poverty. There is no King, there is no Prime Minister, there is no 2030 and all they crave is your undying attention. Deny them."
    I was feeling diplomatic that particular day.

    Great content, well done. I started my teens in the start of the sixties and have very happy memories. Britain used to make some of the best cars and motorcycles and produce the best steel in the world and sadly now all gone. We have gone from a great manufacturing country to a nation of soft consumers. Our little Island is bulging with over 70 million people whilst other countries such as New Zealand which is roughly the same size has only 5.5 million. France being the second largest country in Europe has a smaller population around 67 million. More and more of our beautiful green belt is being pillaged to provide housing. I don’t know where Britain is heading in the future but I am so grateful to have been a part of sixties Britain.

      Yes, you've touched on something that's been making me spit a few feathers of late, the amount of identikit Barratt-style homes that are being rushed up and destroying the feel of areas, where there was once a nice bit of land or dare I even say it even in hushed tones...a pub.
      Don't know if you're aware of a little village between Halifax and Bradford named Denholme? I spent a couple of years living with my girlfriend up there and now if you take a drive right through the middle it's just full of horrific Barratt homes with street names like 'Oncetherewasbeautybutnowneutrality Mews'. Alright, I made that up.
      I have writing and music self-penned all over this channel if you'd like to take a look, if successful I'm looking to implement a new way of living for those who want it. If not then, as you say, I don't know where Britain is heading, but I certainly know where I'm heading...complete hermitude!

      I can’t vouch for the sixties because I was born in 1969 but I remember the 1970s. The streets were dirty; litter, dog 💩, graffiti in a lot of places. People weren’t all lovely, there were some nasty pieces of work, rough kids that would bully, domestic abuse took place behind closed doors and most wives wouldn’t utter a word about it, a lot of working class men would spend a lot of their wages and spare time in the pubs and the bookies. Some families in the late sixties and early seventies were still living in slum housing, no inside loo and bathing in front of the coal fire. Let’s not kid ourselves it was good because looking back it really wasn’t.

    I was a young woman in the 60’s. It was a great time to be young and living in London. We never felt concerned about coming home late, in the dark streets. The police walked the beat and were a comforting presence. Fashions were fun. My flatmates and I shortened our skirts every few weeks! I had a Vidal Sassoon haircut which suited me. There really was a sense of optimism in the country. You never heard young women swearing like they do now.
    When I hear the word ‘ shag’ bandied about, it still gives me a shock. That was a dirty word only used by teenage boys or written on public bathroom walls. I know everything was ‘t perfect, no age ever is, but from reading the comments, I see there is a great sadness for the state of the country now and a wistful nostalgia for times that will never come again.

    Freer even than 🇺🇸 who boasts of being free; of course.
    British don't boast, they don’t need to, 🤔 about that.
    There are still 14 UK Overseas Territories (OT) across the globe, of which ten are permanently inhabited by British nationals.
    All the Territories have historic links to the UK and, together with the UK and Crown Dependencies like Jersey and Guernsey, form one undivided realm where the King is sovereign.
    The Commonwealth comprises 56 countries, across all inhabited continents. The members have a combined population of 2.4 billion people, almost a third of the world population, with 1.4 billion living in India, and 94% living in either Asia or Africa.
    Americans rarely understand, or can absorb what I've just written.
    Not entirely their fault.
    They have an insular education system, that is two years (at least) behind age group teachings; in 🇬🇧
    🇺🇸 concentrates on itself, which is why most of them, can't point to the correct country on a map.
    Are unaware that EU, UK and Scandinavian countries infrastructure, is better than theirs. That is until they arrive as tourists and their mouths are agog; in wonderment.
    In 🇺🇸 universities it improves.

    The newsreels you compiled your "historical" video from show mostly soft news, non-news. The recent doco about British Pathe explains which subjects were chosen to film, and more often than not it was fluff like royal wedding or derby, not strikes at shipyards or atrocious conditions in coal miner towns. One could watch Soviet propaganda just as well and believe in communist paradise. In fact, food rationing ended in the USSR earlier than in the UK, and Khruschev built more social housing across the country, which was better than coal miners' row houses. I don't know how one can say that the UK was great back then with a straight face.

      If you study the subject of National Service not only studies carried out by civilians but also by the then war department as I have . The combined findings in short state that the whole idea was badly instigated from the start , the war department struggled to find activities etc to keep the men busy. Yes some went to foreign conflicts etc but even those didn't make a dent in the inaction of the men's training and perceived purpose. I've studied the UK and Australian National Service, the UK's system was a joke to say the least, where as the Australian some might say worked , as theirs included some 3000 men involved in their taking part in the Vietnam war ( a pact agreement with the USA to protect the areas of the Pacific ect post second world war ) Some 350 lost their lives the figure involved injures lose of limbs etc is sketchy. I personally knew a girl in 1969 who lost a brother ( National Service Australia ) in Vietnam.. My father did UK National Service, he enjoyed it, my late father in law was in the last year of the Second World War, and was on reserve post the war , he hated the whole experience and regretted the actions he was ordered to carry out on civilians in India....Yes India .....but that's another story...So in conclusion did National Service work and serve a genuine purpose, I believe not....

    Celtic, first British (Scottish) team to be crowned champions of Europe: not a mention! Incidentally, where are all the daarkies who, we have been told by the BBC, have been here since the 18th century?

      Yes its all about the English in this so called "union" Knighthoods automatically handed to the manager of the second British team to win Europe's premier football tournament.
      Why my fellow Scotts dont wake up and vote for independence is beyond me. Labor don't represent us, and the Tories are for the English establishment. SNP is the best we can hope for.

    It is appalling how sexist and misogynous the comments on women are in these times. It makes me barf. The disrespect is just incredible. Apparently, somebody thought back then that a cheeky remark is funny, but it isn't, is it.

      At least people back then knew for certain what a woman is - they would gasp in horror at the notion of men in female sports, bathrooms and locker rooms... I would take "sexist" jokes any day in comparison to that!

    Narrator makes a disgusting comment about Marilyn Monroe,
    12:03 ‘ There is only the lovely mammary of Marilyn Monroe’
    Whilst showing a glimpse of her figure . Disgraceful.

      It’s the narrator”s accent on ‘memory’. Interestingly the Queen and MM were the same age.

      Ken , The footage is in black and white and because these people are ‘coloured’ they cannot be seen. It’s only when colour TV comes in around the late 1960s that they can be seen.
