It’s a myth still perpetuated by lazy BBC producers and bourgeois Guardianista’s that the 1960s in Britain was a golden decade of freedom, wealth, happiness and health. This may have been so if you were young, white, male, middle class and living in London, but for the majority of Brits, the swinging sixties was a decidedly average decade, where very little changed.

Sex meant marriage. Money was debt. Drugs came from the pharmacy. And revolution was the ticking of the second hand around the clock face towards aged obsolescence. As for housing, this was the small concrete blocks built indifferently up towards the sky.

This short documentary, No One Cares , on the destruction of Liverpool’s working class communities, gives a good idea of what the Swinging Sixties was like for those living beyond the suburbs of north London.
