But we had the Beatles and that cheeky chappie Jimmy Tarbuck, not to mention corporal punishment in schools.

Population in 1965 54.35 million. Population in 2025 69.5 million,
So in 1965 I murder for every 196,000 people and in 2025 I murder for every 139,000 people. OK?

Or if you live in the village of Emmerdale, one murder per household, no better in industrialised Manchester, look at Wetherfield every resident is either an ex convict or a convicted murderer, not to mention gay.

Best fashion, best music, City winning Division 3, the only decade England have won a World Cup in.
Homosexuality was legalised in the 1960s,capital punishment was abolished. A lot more liberal society came in. Standards have declined since. Were you born in the 1960s? All your fault then.

The murder rate in Oxford and the Cotswolds is pretty horrific as well.

We remember things like that because they were so rare.
Someone got stabbed, raped, shot, killed, or things like armed robberies, and it was massive news.
Nowadays it's an everyday event.
I remember the days when if someone was murdered say in Yorkshire, never mind in our own part of Yorkshire, it would be massive news. Nowadays it's sadly a regular occurrence.
Please stop talking so ****ing stupid.

Hang on
Murders are at there lowest rate for decades.
So consequently there is less chance of being murdered in Yorkshire now than in your golden age…’regular occurrence’? Not as regular as it used to be regardless of whether you noticed it or not then
What you’re saying about murders simply doesn’t make any sense.

Murder rate, as I showed is higher than the 1960s. Or can we only pick certain decades to compare it to?

Not at all
I was simply referencing the decades that he said it was much worse than in the first place.

Also a downward trend is a good thing regardless. Hope it continues

My apologies,I thought you were still on Emmerdale.<doh>

I'll need to get the wife to put on STV player for a catch up...I don't know how to work all that ****e,it was easier in the 60's.

You couldn’t do catch up in the 1960s. I remember my dad asking my mother if I was ill as he had never seen me in on a Friday night. It was because Ready Steady Go! was on. If you didn’t see it then you missed it. I remember them changing church service times because of the Forsyte Saga. Pub used to empty early when Monty Python was on. Stopped going to Sunday evening Sunday School because it clashed with Danger Man which caused a bit of an argument with the folks at the time, <laugh>
Not the same somehow when everything is so easily available.
