Your right, I am extremely old, but believe me the UK was a better place before Liberalism, political correctness, multiculturalism and women's lib. You could say what you wanted to whom you wanted without the fear of being arrested. Bill Nicholson will be turning in his grave if he can see what is happening to football.
You mean back to a time when you could be racist, abusing gay people etc... are those better times? No, the past was never better times. We always see the past through rose tinted glasses. We always look backwards, instead of forward. I am one who believes in equality amongst the sexes. However, I can understand your fear and wish to go back to a time when man was delusional and thought he was the king of the beasts. Whatever you think the past isn't coming back and what we've got is here to stay; whether some like it or not.
