Are you fucking serious? The 80's better than today? In the UK?
Racial riots in '81, '82 recession starts and Falklands go crazy, '84 Miner strikes go off and IRA bombs blow sky high...
...and the list goes on.
Literally LMAO
You laugh but how are the last two decades any different?
We traded Irish terrorism for Islamic (which seems worse)
The Falklands (which was a fully justified war) for Iraq Libya etc
We have had the London riots
And we have had just as many strikes with the tube workers bringing London to a standstill to doctors.
Not to mention the economic crash...
The main problems these days and what makes people so angry are:
1. The Prime Minister at least just telling bare faced lies (at least they used to try to hide the fact they lie) Cameron went from saying the UK will flourish outside of the EU and he would back the leave campaign if he didn't get significant reforms to a few months later saying holy shit the world will collapse into war and the country will go back to the dark ages if we leave the EU. (had to be lying one of those times)
2. I say PC it's a pretty lazy term but I'll lump hyper sensitive find offense in everything culture here.
It politicians, liberals, TV everyone seemingly trying to stop debate and discussions they dont like by shouting racist, bigot or anti semite. Have concerns or questions about immigration? Shouted down as a racist, question Israel? Anti semite, want to discuss anything in university you get no platforned of you don't fit into the left leaning arch liberal views of most uni under grads.
Now we get demonstrations demanding that statues be taken down bin a university because there is one of Cecil Rhodes who funds a scholarship there....
Transgender and gender fluidity (whateverthebfuckthat is) is becoming a major issue because it doesn't sit right with a lot of older people. Instead of talking to them and explaining things people just shout anti LGBT abuse.
The far right used to get laughed at In the UK but not anymore, when you shut down debate and speech that you don't agree with or find insensitive in this age of hyper sensitive find everything offensive culture you feed the far right with normal frustrated people who just feel disenfranchised.
Sorry ignition doesn't make sense I'm typing it on my phone
