Starmer's vision quest

[Xipe Totec]

Best I can do there is the release of London Calling by the Clash.

That must trump anything else that happened.

I would say Permanent Waves by Rush, but that wasn't actually released until January 1980.

So it's Days In Europa by The Skids.

Yes, srsly

An opportunity for more Sun bashing?

The 70's were not a good time. Except for the birth of my children, I can't think of anything good about that decade.

Well there was disco, Corona, and that amazing summer...but apart from that, yeah, pretty shoot. Useless Labour government, strikes everywhere, enforced power cuts etc etc.

Politically, I don't believe it was more democratic. Bit of rose-tint going on

The music was a whole lot better. The beer less so.

As a youth in the 60s, the music of the 70s wasn’t better, and, in the 70s, with a mortgage (15% interest if I recall), and, 3 children, I couldn’t afford beer

I'm not a boomer.

But I was there in the 70s, and I remember how crap it was.

Still waiting for you to tell us how decades you never lived were better than now.

a) I was alive for most of the 70s, and b) that's not what I said - I merely posited a start-point for when the current hegemony took hold.

The music is always alright when you’re young.
