The majority of the population lived in poverty in the great depression of the twenties and thirties.

Certainly compared to today.

People didn't riot. They marched.

They muddled along the best they could, in the hope that one day they'd earn enough again to feed and clothe their families.

There was respect.

Self-respect.

Respect for their neighbour, teachers, police. Respect for the very fabric of what made Britain one of the most civilised places in the history of this planet.

Removing the fear of being brought to justice, if you do wrong, is this society's gravest action.

We are living with the consequences of the selfish 'me and mine' generation.
