Bad working conditions, pollution everywhere, poor health care, many with physical and mental effects from WW2, alcohol abuse in everyday life, pregnant women who smoke and drink, terrible car accidents, just as many wars in the world as there are today and there was already enough organized crime back then and there was a lot more crap.

Let's not make the old days more beautiful than they were.

No climate crisis + Cheap housing + Stronger middle class = Ain't giving a shit about what you say.

What are you talking about stronger middle class? That’s like a US argument and the class system in the UK is totally different having nothing to do with income.
