  • so this was London before socialism

  • all the usual tourist rubbish. But it is nice to see London when it was still a largely English city., The English have been ethnically cleansed out ot London. Partly through their own laziness and mostly through politicians treachery.

  • why I can't give thumbs up you tube?

  • What the hell happened to my country.

  • @lifeworthliving2010 You need a course in political history. If you want to trace the real beginnings of large debt accumulation in the post-war British economy look to the government of Heath in 1970. Look also to Thatcher's legacy which was whitewashed when in fact it left massive debt and nothing to show for it. And the debt bubble left by Blairism? Clearly the result of a party foolishly following that sort of idiotic tradition.

  • @lifeworthliving2010 No actually, the Labour Party was elected to office in 1945. This is England just after the creation of the NHS and other social and economic policy to make life worth living for everybody; not socialism but social democracy. The Conservative Party took office in 1951 with a minority vote and as usual did absolutely nothing worthwhile for 5 years. What you're watching is England under post-war Labour.

    Not only is your opinion worthless, it's without any insight.

  • @grebo54 or a golden age bubble that now has taken its toll with huge debts.

  • @lifeworthliving2010 actually this was London at the height of socialism - or rather social democracy. Done away with by Thatcher and her successors, and in retrospect a golden age for ordinary people.

  • "So long as there are Englishmen ..."???

    But these were the Welsh Guards.

  • Great! we've got the 'Shard'! That's a great compensation for losing our great capitol city to third world peasants. Can you imagine the recent riots occurring before mass immigration from primitive countries?

    We used to have a civilized, orderly country. Respect for each other, pride in our Nation (and we do have a great history to be proud of) a hard work ethic and disdain for accepting charity and benefits, and a richly deserved reputation for fair play. All gone. I could weep for England.

  • @harbottle99 that it? Wow, yes, of course I thought they genuinely had said whores, thanks for clearing that up. lolz
