RE: Another classic conservative SirKnight rant titled: And they call it 'progress.'
OK - I see. Your comments appear to be focused on US history makerhack - the 1950's were a time for prosperity for much of the western world not just the US. I am sorry the pictures were all US based - put it down to the US being a powerhouse in film and media during this time.
The 50s were a bad time for the UK. There was still post-war rationing, racism was rife (leading to riots), and good housing was scarce, many living in slums.
An interesting read.

Yes looks like rationing continued into the 50s - but this encouraged backyard gardens - which I am all for.
However throughout the 50s the UK became one of the most industrialized nations in the world. Which was good for financial prosperity - but bad for the environment - pollution was terrible.
Good point once again makerhacks.
Have to go now though.
SK.
Hmm, you are a very patient man SK.
How do you do it?.🤷
