Going through some old photos found this from a demo in London in 1994…well…he wasn’t wrong I guess…

  1. It did get better under Blair though. It came crashing down after that and has only got worse since. It seems pretty obvious that it is the Tories that are the issue in all this.

  2. I’m not sure if it’s just me, but he looks a bit like he’s the father of Michael Caine, possibly a relation, of course he’s not, just the first thing I thought of upon seeing him.

  3. Correct me, but if I’m not mistaken wasn’t John Major the Prime Minister at the time?
    I guess we’re doomed to repeat history with the tories.

  4. Color pictures were the norm in 1994…

    Just saying for the young ones looking at this post.

    Cool Britannia was WAY better than 1994 when it started.

  5. When you compare today to the mid-90s, there is an undeniable improvement in living standards across the board. The rate of violent offences is less than half of what is was during the peak in the mid-90s. Infant mortality rate has also halved. The number of children experiencing poverty has significantly declined. A much larger proportion of the population are university educated. Life expectancy has increased by more than 5 years.

    I have absolutely no idea why people continue to believe that the 90s was a better time than today. It simply wasn’t. It was much rougher back then.
