The 1970's

If Labour win the election and drag us back into the 1970's politically and economically, does that mean we'll have to wear flares as well?  :-\  ::)  ;D

I thought they were promising more of a Star Trek style socialist utopia than a 1970s dystopia? Y'know, free money for everyone! Free education for all! Universal healthcare! All fully funded! (presumably from their magic money tree) ;D

Couldn't they take us back to the early 60s - then I wouldn't be married!  :y

Only 40 years ago, but a different world. Whether it was was better than now, or worse, depends upon your point of view. But remember, it might only seem as if it was better because you were 40 years younger.

I look back fondly, as I was of an innocent age, with no cares in the world :y

But I know money was really tight, and mum was having to juggle part time jobs around the kids.  So I'm sure if I asked her, she'll say it was shite!
