- 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.
I was born in 57, had my wonderful education in the 60's.which prepared me for the 70's,and those two decades I would not swap for any other .
@@starquant not true they had the pill and the girls I new were really independent I was born in 52 the women were fantastic
@@starquant i can only talk of my experience growing up in London I was 18 in 1970 and a hippie ( not that that should have anything to do with it) we were very open about sex and the girls i new seemed to have no issues with the pill.
Maybe we were privileged ✌
@@starquant That was truly a terrible set of circumstances that no one should have to endure i hope you found some happiness from the life you lived and yes I was privileged
@@starquant I will but all i can remember about the mini skirt was positive maybe the people in England were just more determined to be happy after years of depression and war it was very difficult for my father's generation were women and children did what they were told or they got a punished but they did change gradually. I came to Australia in 1981 and experienced racial abuse which was earth shattering for a white English male . Yes I was privileged to grow up in London
@@starquant of course i can't experience and can only observe and listen to what women such as you experienced I'm not saying everything thing was perfect we were working class 4 kids 2 bedroom no bathroom terraced house would be called a slum today and the old man was tough but as cleched as it may sound my family was a happy one my mum was the glue the negotiator the buffer and the love and warmth of the family . I have 2 daughters 40 and 22 and they share your opinions pretty much which encourage and am proud of. Like I said I sincerely hope you find some pleasure from life now.
Loved the 60s, worst thing about it was the destruction of so much of the rail network.
And dependable cheap public transport.
Yes a believe it was called The Beeching report
@@derrydoire1864 Many lines closed before Beeching. Even lines deemed to have a future under the Beeching plan closed.
@@georgeadams4344 Beeching the patsy,the man behind it all was the Arch Tax Dodger Ernest Marples the Transport Minister and Construction King. His conglomorates not only had all the goverment new road contracts sewn up. He dumped Sir Brian Robertson (whe knew about railways and had shedloads of experience) and appointed Beeching at twice the salary.
He later did an overnight runner to Luxembourg owing thirty years of back tax. He wound up in his French Chateux. Probably also paid for by the British Taxpayer.
Indeed!
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!
In case folk do like accuracy KC - the pops actually are France 68 million (mid-2023) and GB 67.15 million (official census mid 2021) - which may've risen to 68 million by today (yep that's caused by the Netto Immigrationi figures ...). 🚻🏳🌈 Very similar. And JFtR!
Less than either Germany or Turkey by quite a bit.
Your points & protests KC should carry more weight with us if they're accurate - unlike the 'spin' and manipulatively made-up stats Tory ministers and journos trot out 👿 - which you presumably deplore??
Hey do keep us posted - a man who knows wot he wants. And yes I know Denholme, used to visit Halifax in the OOs. @@MarvinSumpter
Canadian here. Your cultural and industrial exports had a huge impact on me. I hope the UK returns to its former glory.
Weren't we a much more optimistic and happier nation of people.
Much, it was a great time to be a kid or a teenager/young. Nothing bothered the War Generation,they had seen it all,they were real adults who knew which way was up.
I don't remember it being so there.
We were far less entitled for sure. Expectations were realistic.
@@paulthesquid3595 poor we soul.
14.48 Three women leaving their children in their prams outside Sainsbury's whilst they go shopping. I actually gasped in horror when I saw this. How times have changed.
They still do it in Berlin, occasionally
After my experiences with my dog being stolen,I cringe to see an animal alone outside a shop.Happily,she came back.But it was normal & safe to leave prams & pets outside then without a worry.What the heck went wrong with society??And we could leave our doors open.
But,there were real cops then and cop shops not 'development opportunities.'@@susanmccormick6022
Queen Elizabeth really was so beautiful. It’s funny because when I was young I never thought of 5he Queen as beautiful but seeing her meeting Marilyn Monroe her class and beauty shine from her!
A marvelous record of such a significant decade. I remember it well.
I noted a certain 'lack of color'!

Those were the days, yes, behold, this was Britain just right before they completely screwed up absolutely everything. From here on in it is only going downhill to utter misery.
Bloody hippies.
I bet you're fun at parties! 😆😆
Probably is fun at parties if their idea of fun is the 60s. But they're also right.
SO I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE EH! I WISH I KNEW WHY THOUGH!
@@johnwedgbury6817 Have some more drugs Junior.
What a lovely place! Shame its all but gone. I don't care what anyone says, to me it was a far better place back then, and still a first world economy.
Untrue on all counts
More gentle n happier times,born in 65 with many 70s memories,how times change
The 60s when Britain was great amazing music life was so safe and easy now look at this country the pits I've got my memories what have the youth of today got to remember stabbings shootings overcrowding no housing national health on its knees thousands of illegal immigrants coming into the country what a state this country has become R I P.
Utter bull the streets were more violent then Brady & Hindley i remember the 60's as utter crap i am 69 years old now.
Completely agree Keith. Don’t bother with that miserable Cu@t above
‘Paulthesquid” he is making negative comments in response to everything positive. He was depressed in the 60’s and still now!!
Brady and Hindly were two people, so were the Krays!
The streets were way safer then, police did foot patrols and actually did their job, it was extremely rare for anyone to get stabbed, let alone shot, and as for the mods and rockers seaside "battles", they were massively overhyped by the press.
More stabbings, shootings, rapes and looting take place in a week now than in a year in the 60s.
Brady and Hindley, my arse!
Yeah ...great times!! Child killers ...armed robberies...peadophiles...wife beatings...unfair pay between men & women...the threat of nucleur war!! Oh great times.
Crime was much higher in the 60s than it is now
we put a tiger in our tank, we kept Britain tidy, nobody apologised for being white or for slavery and no grafitti anywhere, 1967 and 1968 were the best years of all!
Even the dog muck smelt of roses.
Well' i can assure you those 2 years were the worst time of my life no grafitti anywhere utter bull there as i remember it the streets were dirtier then no power washes to be seen at all.
@@paulthesquid3595...no graffiti...yeah right 😅😅😅
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.
Totaly agree. Flower power , Celtic wining the European cup, Manunited winning it the following year. The Beatles in their prime. Harold Wilson in power.
i saw the 50s episode a while back and have been wanting to see one of the 60s forever. thank you!’
Not an 'asylum dinghy' in sight! A time when people could plan ahead with confidence unlike the black hole ahead for so many these days. Greetings from a Brit residing in the USA.
The USA heading the exact same way.
Yes, this time was that moment of celebration after a cannon is shot up in the sky and enjoyment you have seeing it soar, before it inevitably falls back on your head.
You are now seeing the aftereffects of that fall.
You had your fun, now pay the price.
BLOODY foreign cars everywhere ALL over on boats most of them coloured SEND them back ....
@@learnquran6959Unfortunately Joe Public such as the ones commenting on this video, had nothing to do with colonialism and received nothing from it. We didn’t make the rules, we are just suffering now the consequences from the TOTAL arsholes in power that did! 🤔
The British government is more self serving now than ever before.
As long as the country is run by millionaire's who are out of touch with real life , we will all continue to suffer.....
The Royal family are no better.
The continuation of members being "dismissed" to order so others can thrive only serves to allow them to run the family as seen fit by a certain few. 😢
I think the current word for the UK governments (plural) with the current unwanted invasion force, are traitors and betrayers to us the people 🤔
Great times, great fashions, great music, great friends, great memories.
EVANGELIST Roger Mansour
Former Leslie West drummer
The Vagrants
I loved these times, playing hide and seek in the street, knock down ginger, marbles and getting dad's slipper across the backside! Fantastic memories.
One of my earliest memories was Mum swinging a huge red Carpet Sweeper at Dad - whom ducked but the wall was marked by a red paint skid mark for ages until she re papered the front room . With him gone we’d be chased down the garden & into the copse with her clutching the Clothes Line Prop . Thinking about it now , if we’d got caught I’m not sure if we’d been whacked or impaled …😮👍
Don't forget Guy Fawks and Saturday morning pictures
Great memories - the Moors murders ; poverty ; black and white tv - a country looking like a Soviet Satellite!!
Remember being at the Stones concert in 69, happy memories.
AND STILL TOURING!!!!!
Born 1967 US was a young kid in the 1970's . Witnessed a thriving middle class get laid off industry just vanished. Nice neighborhoods now decayed main street store front windows boarded up. People once thrived just barely survive now. Mental illness has over taken more people than died of covid. Same predicament now as 1975 same problems just got worse.
Happy days..no pc...no mass immigration
The rot set in during the 1960s.Mary Whitehouse tried to warn us but the establishment ridiculed her.
I was just thinking about that this week and how right she was.
Enoch Powell too.
I was born in 1961 and have always said this is where it all started to go so, terribly wrong!!!!!!
And it's not over yet...
Don't be so hard on yourself.
The days when people used to live in hope.
… and in houses that weren’t made of cardboard.
Yes i did when that load of trash decade ended am 69 now.
What I find very sad is que British customs and its way of life has died
We will never have another P.M. like Churchill. I was 15 but remember his funeral like yesterday.
ATLEE WAS GREATER
Thank god for that
@@violetanndoherty6872 oh dear!
Tony Blair was good too
@@cooper7031I will hope to remember his funeral as well!
A Wonderful Country completely destroyed 😢
100 % agree.
Spot on Jason. Town planners and corruption saw thousands of houses demolished and in their place was built the modern day slum. Immigration out of control and the people who still make the rules STILL live nowhere near any of the problems they created. This country will never recover from all that and I'm glad I'll be long dead to see the end consequences that are there today for everyone to see.
Rip off Britain. Wot a joy!
A wonderful TARD completely realized
They destroyed other countries, now its their turn.
"A trip to Florida, to Disney's theme park, became an option." (Plays footage of Disneyland in California since Walt Disney World didn't open in Florida until 1971.)
i never get over how thin everybody was back then.
Big corporate food and sugar has yet to take over.
That's largely because eating habits were born out of rations and people didn't consume as much. Also, in Britain, the US, and the rest of the wealthy nations there is a greater variety of food in larger portions and sadly not always healthy
Not much snacking back then. Mainly set mealtimes and people more active.
Yes even at the time of the death of Churchill this country still had a rich disciplined culture.The people were in the vast majority moral and family orientated,when both parents were not forced to work like they are now.Children had a more secure upbringing.Ok we may not have been as materially well off,but there was social cohesion less trouble less crime less divorce.There was strength and stability.But, and its needs to be said the 60's gave birth to the cultural revolution,when people in politics,the law ,education,television music and the media in general loosened Britain from the certainties it had held for decades.Things began to get gradually worse in the 70's and then the 80's.By then Britain had been transformed and put on its path to the sorry state it is in today.
The learning point here is; most of so called new designs, inventions or art forms nowadays, are not original by a long shot. Most things today are barely a poor attempt of repeating what was already there for 50 or more years.
2nd. We learn also how politicians, bankers, managers and that kind of people, systematically make wrong decisions, and afterwards are also surprised themselves by the miserable outcomes. History never changes, does it?
A lot of what we're now pretending is progress are just systems that allow faceless middlemen to get rich via smartphone reliance. For example, 20 years ago I could get in a taxi and pay the driver without a pound needing to go to Holland. Pretty boring example but it's happening across the board. On politicians I just auto-assume corruption, take one look at Matt Hancock, if you can bear to.
We are seeing a litany of songs , movies, books etc, done before by men and now being repeated with female characters in the male roles. Dr. Who, Starwars, Ghostbusters, and ma y many more.
yes we remember it well I was 20 the same age as His Majesty the king now 74.
Gone with the wind
The best of times❤️
There were still some British people in the country then. Now the country has lost its traditions and character. The population has doubled in my lifetime.
Our district certainly has - it’s now crammed with elderly Londoners who complain about the noise of cattle grids & even tried to shut down the village club cos they thought us yokels were too rowdy . Trev the owner now books an AC/DC tribute act just to give them something really bloody annoying before the inevitable because they’ll soon be the majority on the parish council too ☹️👍
@@newforestpixie5297 SO true.

The late 1950s were better. Early 1960s was a slow creep of what we have today. - 1968 speech by E.P.
Agree ! I was born in 1952 and remember glorious upbringing in a large family in the west of Scotland. I remember the Elvis craze , then along came Chubby Checker, and then the Beatles. Splendid era.
Ahh….happy days, I was a teenager in the 60’s when ‘girls were girls and boys were boys’ and we enjoyed finding out about each other! None of the LGBTQ+ nonsense! (It may have gone on but I didn’t know about it!).
Motorbikes, Elvis, Stones, Schooldays, lazy summers…..etc. I’m 81 now and remember it all vividly.
Watching the England team win the world cup in 1966, those boys would not have got on their knees for a socialist political movement.
One of the many reasons football isn't worth watching anymore.
The day I was 21 - great party that night - everyone happy and in good spirits due to the win.
Our poor country gone ! We used to walk the streets with sheath knives .air rifles play in woods camping we were not out to hurt anyone. Now look at it britan has died. 😢😢
Not out to hurt anyone? Teddy boys use to walk about with flick knives !!!
@@darrenrexfrancis2538agreed. I think a lot of the violence wasn’t reported to the police and there wasn’t 24/7 news and social media so the majority of people didn’t know what was happening so they didn’t think it went on. Same with sexual abuse and harassment, it wasn’t reported or it was dismissed or hushed up. The world has always had nasty, vile individuals in it and always will. x
I did exactly what you described. A sheath knife on my belt, another jackknife in my pocket along with a slingsnot, and carrying my pellet gun under my arm, walking down our main street in Wishaw Scotland.
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.
In 50 or 60 years old folk will be looking back with nostalgia at the wonderful 2020s and telling their grandchildren how much better it was back then.
Nice one, Socrates.
but they will only remember the fake news not what was really happening!
I doubt it
Will this be when the future generations of UK women will be wearing a hijab? Because that’s where the UK will be in 20 to 40 years I’m afraid 🤔 This is by current statistics which say in 40 years time the UK white race will be no more as it will be bred out! The only race that will not intermarry or intermix is Islam

A look at the 60s, without any 60s music, but nevertheless an interesting journey, in good quality, and thankfully in its original 4:3 aspect.
Time has since altered some of the facts though, especially the report on the John F Kennedy killing.

Cheap public transport that ran surprisingly well... well at least in Liverpool where I lived. Nowadays the cost of bus travel is outrageous, you want cars off the road.... make public transport cheap and reliable. Simple.

So many negative comments here, about a country where most; are the MOST tolerant of others.
What's wrong with you?
Speaking as an outsider, I have travelled to 32 countries.
In my experiences UK is still a country, where a person can say most things without fear.
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.
I was fortunate to have an education in 🇬🇧 and I'm from another country.
Nothing else needs to be said.

@@MarvinSumpter I've seen your resume on your channel description. Get help leek muncher, or visit your local 🐑 😉
Is that a sheep?
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.
I didn't compile this video, it was just ripped from a dodgy DVD. If you had read the description before commenting it'd be obvious. I've uploaded it satirically because it is indeed, in your words...fluff!

Start of mixing up the Soviet Union / USSR with Russia today, the announcer calling the USSR invasion, a Russian invasion.

@@senianns9522 One word - apathy.
I remember when I was fifteen years old my dad used to listen to the nine o'clock news each evening. One evening the announcer said " The government has said that National Service will be ended in two years".
Best news I had ever heard.
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....
Robins should have been jailed for Abervan.
With the demonstrations nothing has changed same today
Too much about the so called royals , not enough about the 60s......and yes I do remember the late 50s & 60s
This is about London..not Britain
If you can't tell that Gagarin rocket was a toy, you should have it stuffed where the sun don't shine 🤣
But why did you have to leave us for Tottenham?
@@MarvinSumpter I would never leave us for anybody, been going since 1962ish, bit late to change 😅
But Paul, I have it on good authority that you were born in 1979

Possibly. I have another video here to warn you against buying a certain product in Lidl. Please like it, share it, and smear it on your walls.

Where is the fantastic diversity?
Its not the britain i knew, saw what was happenig sold up picked up my family and left, never looked back.
Yeah, but where did you go? Oz? Hmm, same old. Where then?
A time when John was the most common male CHRISTIAN name in England….no more😱
Oh I dread the day Camilla gets a ship named after her.
I still say: "Never trust a hippie" and the charmless Rolling Stones are still nothing but noise.
English crap. Russia put missiles on Cuba because the Yanks put theirs in Turkey first.
Yeah I sort of uploaded the video as a joke statement about the fact that we think we enjoy democracy in this country. I think it's going over most people's heads...
The very same western aggression which has put Ukraine in a war they can't possibly win.
Britain celebrated Yuri Gagarin and the Russians leading the Space Race??!!
DAMM COMMIES!!!
Yes damb commies who sacrificed over 28 million of their own to save the world from Fascism. How many third world countries have those damb commies invaded and murdered in their millions for access to minerals oil. Not many in my memory.

Right, the "sheeple". Of which you aren't one? Jeez - you, Sir, are a snob.
Ahh the good old days: poverty; humiliation; the end of the greatest myth - the British Empire ; let’s all go backwards!

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.
one big lie for man
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.
Yes, it was, sorry about that.
You're extremely thin-skinned and likely clinically neurotic. ...A product of the degenerating era you grew up in.
Yeah its funny,dont be silly
Sorry sad twat, it’s funny
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.
That's hilarious. See how blinkered people can become by this agenda to stop the opposite sexes being attracted to each other?
@@sonshi12nsp No wonder people back then were always mistaking them for each other!
🙄
Where are all the black people, in our new history they have been here for ever! Can't see any here.
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.
The blacks were up early cleaning houses and doing early shifts at the factories.
