I wish I'd been born at a time where I could witness just how amazing Britain was before it joined the EU, because it sounds flipping fantastic.

Is it the same place all these people, usually aged 40-70, talk about when they're cryarsing about how they grew up with absolutely nothing, usually when they're trying to paint subsequent generations (who've they brought up) as spoiled, whinging layabouts?

Before we joined the EU Town were rubbish except for the McMenemy season in 71/72.

But as soon as we joined the EU things got better and we got into Division 2 and stayed there. Free movement allowed Ivano Bonnetti to join the club. An economic migrant I know, and yes - he was a burden on the NHS with a broken cheekbone, but we were enriched by the diversity he brought to the club.

Along came UKIP and that put us into non-League. So who knows what lies ahead.

It was only when people started mumbling about the EU that we went downhill again

FWIW My favourite Python sketch of all time and I was around to see its debut...bloody brilliant!

Quoted from Civvy at last

Of course they'll want to come.  Leaving a 3rd world country to come to England is a no brainer.  The Euro will fall once we are finally out of the EU properly and the dollar will fall once that muppet takes over as president.  And hey, if johnny foreigner doesn't want to come, we'll still cope, just like we did before, when we  had standards. In 10 years time when the 'great' is back in Britain and we have truly  got our country back, people will wonder what all the fuss about Brexit was for.  Patience people, patience  

Poland, Latvia, Greece etc where a lot of the NHS staff come from are not third world countries.

Looking at the amount of people sleeping in shop doorways and working but still having to use food bank to survive I sometimes wonder if we are living in a 3rd world country.

Well I was around then and you are spot on.

All those looking through rose tinted glasses need to remember most families had far far less than even the 'poor' of today. Our house had ice on the inside of the windows at this time of year, no central heating, outside bog and in the early 70's the country was crippled by strike after strike.

No electricity on a regular basis, rubbish piled high in the streets. Most earned next to nothing as the country struggled to survive even 25 years after the end of the war.

Today a crisis is if the benefits don't stretch to sky tv or the latest trainers for young Kyle

Clicked on this thread to see how many we've sold for this.. Things have gone a bit south!

Sounds excellent, bring back the good old days! Let's have polio and the plague back while we're at it.
