Blame the globalist central bankers who appoint and control all of our leading politicians. They call their agenda the 'Kalergi Plan'.

Remember what Enoch Powell said ?

It was not their masterplan. The Kalergi plan. (The one desperately denied on various websites and platforms.)

At least you made it out unharmed.

London in 2007 would have been a pleasant surprise. It has only turned sour since 2016 and especially since 2019. Just like the whole of the UK. Johnson's ego-trip Brexit has finished this country. We were once great. No more.

I live in London, England and I can confirm it is no longer a British city

Mikaela ....It was as British then, as it is now !!! ...Stop talking bollocks!!! 😂 What I have noticed on this video however, is that ....There was no CCTV Cameras anywhere, and yet... I didn’t see any vandalism, or graphites on the walls, or rubbish anywhere. People were well behaved, even though, they were NOT being watched !!! Which only goes to show that human beings are like children, the more you try to control them and tell them not to do something, the more they will

@@chello70 Fucking libtard for it to be british it ought to live majority british people there.

@@Gnybr majority of people in London are still British you moron

They were not Routemasters. They were RT and RTWs

@@MrTonyHeath Actually of the only RTs one was gone from sight within two seconds of the start of the video and a split second flash-by of an RT with a Roof Route Number Box at 0.27 totalled about 3 RT seconds. There were no RTW's whatsoever. Aside from the odd Routemaster , nearly all the buses were in fact RTLs. This dated the film to approximately 1965.... it could not have been earlier than 1963 (too many Routemasters) or later than 1967 (too few RTLs after then.)

Change is not always a good thing .

@@madandy3176 actually, from 154, routemasters were being introduced and being the main bus, the RT’s were be phased out and a few years after this they were gone .. I think it was 79. ? Last one out of barking … but generally the RM and RML were the best bus by far. And so nice to see one or 2 in shot new not 30 years old when I drove him but loved driving. The RML

@@fwof3347 Actually the first Routemaster was introduced 1800 years later in 1954 as a prototype!!! Prototypes aside they did not enter service as a fleet until later 1959 as trolleybus replacement vehicles and it was thet they started appearing on other routes and into Central London. If you consider the number of Routmasters made and subtract that number from the trolleybus fleet there were only to replace the RT types and that plus service cuts would have covered the RTLs and RTWs almost precisely. whilst leaving the 4500 odd RT's untouched by the end of 1968. Of course many of those were on London Country services, but the demise of the RT's really kicked in with the introduction of the DMs and DMs's

I couldn't agree more

30 years from now people will be saying the same thing about the last decade. I remember in the 80s, my parents banging on about the 60s.

Littletime shes an evil bitch who lied to lighten her sentence now she has nothing and my cousin has since then divorced her this had a devastating effect on there son max who refuses to this day to have nothing to do with her 13yrs on

We went around the world doing the jobs the indigenous were too stupid and ignorant to do. Like build roads, railways, water and sewage systems, medicine, law, stopping them from constant fighting, and living in total squalor. I'm sure if a few aliens turned up with mega technology in exchange for some rocks we didn't know had any use, we'd have no objection. But to be inundated with the very people who can't keep their own countries together, who then turn our place into their crappy societies ain't good. I note the state of post colonial Zimbabwe, and the fact that the Hong Kong Chinese weren't particularly happy about decolonization. Enough of that "stealing resources" crap. Did we steal Arabia's oil, or make them ultra rich with no effort from themselves? Most of the Empire made a loss, and everything that we built for them fell to pieces soon after we left. South Africa used to boast the best hospitals in the world. Now look at them. All that cultural marxist guilt trip stuff don't work any more.

Of course, it cannot be denied, that drug use also became more popular with them, without forgetting, that it has always existed.

Mind blowing

​@@braudabo I absolutely agree, I lean conservative myself but all I really want is to return to the creativity, dynamism and optimism we glimpsed during the second half of the 20th century. You only see that these days in countries like Poland and China. The real blame, as far as I can see, lies with 1) Left-wing academics 2) The globalist, society-hating, neoliberal, corporate elite class, and their degenerate media empires 3) The rootless, mincing political class who look down at their countrymen with a cringing sense of shame. They have no allegiance to anything and have destroyed, on multiple occasions, gems of our culture and industry for nothing more than their own twisted pleasure (i.e. an ideology). The sooner we can put these people out of power and instill 1) A renewed national spirit and respect for our cultural heritage, 2) An equitable economical system closer to the style of e.g. Denmark, 3) Direct democracy of the British people in the style of e.g. Switzerland, then the sooner we can get back to having a real country and a real culture.

​@@ayaneagano6059 You shouldn't have to worry about being problematic the whole time, just speak your mind-besides, courage is as important as compassion (nor does voicing an uncomfortable truth make anybody less of an amazing or positive person for doing so).

Seb K You Britons invented the as we know it today! Bikes need proper infrastructure and that was something the Dutch came up with in the 1970s.

Trunk road schemes in the 1930s usually incorporated cycle paths. Proper ones, 6' wide in each direction. When road improvements got under way again, after the post-war austerity was over, the road planners decided that cycle provision was wasteful, because the workers of the future would all have cars. This was why cycle infrastructure development came to an end, and is only now being re-discovered.

I never knew that! Getting rid of them was such a backward step.

DarkShadow94 Not really but you're entitled to your opinion. I'll leave it there.

​@Peter Peter That's funny, since when were the modern left the protectors of the proletariat? Try getting a globalist corpocrat, the main champion of immigration, to admit the (proven) depressing effect mass immigration has on the average wage as well as social cohesion. Good luck! A Marxist in the 1960s would have stood for the average English working man. The Marxist of the 2020s (which means, increasingly, everybody on the political left) stands for anybody who is NOT the average English working man. Yet you don't even make life better for the "oppressed" minorities you claim to defend.

Kaya Demirolcen You wouldn't because of the sexism racism and homophobia which were very much still present.

First of all, Turkey is a secular state. Even our fucking president is trying to change this, half of the population in Turkey is proud to be secular, so I am. The ''racist cunts'' you mean is probably the radical Islamists who have been a puppet of the current government. So at least the educated side of Turkey have no hate toward any religion or nation. Make sure of it. Armenians can be free and spend time here happily at the cities which intellectuals are more common, Artvin, İzmir etc. Secondly, we didn't steal any of the lands of Greeks, Armenians or Kurds. Kurds had been silent until 1978 when PKK first became active. They aim to establish a Kurdish state in Iraq, Syria, and Turkey. Even though those Turkish cities they want is being Turkified nearly 1000 years ago, they claim those place as theirs. It is also funny to call PKK ''freedom fighters'' when they organize terrorists attack at big cities such as Istanbul and Ankara. By the way, Islamic Turkish group called ''Eastern Turkistan Republic Movement'' in Western China try to establish a new Turkish state; organized terrorist attacks to China and claim those lands as theirs, and those lands belonged to Turks thousands of years ago which is true, right?. I don't mean they do the right thing, actually, they do the wrong thing, but when they are considered as terrorists, why PKK aren't recognized as terrorists? Or China conquered and settled in those lands thousands of years ago, just like Turks settled in Anatolia, why China isn't accepted as ''racists cunts'' but Turks do? This idea of ''the first one who conquers a land, always owns that land'' is stupid. Then British (Anglo-Saxons) Germans (Germanic) and French (Franks) should go back to where they come from, Northern Black Sea (Those tribes spread to Europe while the Migration Period). Lastly and most importantly, I want you to put yourself into my shoes. Many countries hate you and want to divide you, because of the current actions of a politician that wants to establish an anti-secular, Islamic dictatorship even though you support democracy and civil rights. What would you do? Would you accept yourself as a ''racist cunt''?

autistische aktion Well to be fair this looks like late 60s so lets say for arguments sake that it is 1967. People who were over 30 then would be over 80 now, so basically anyone over 30 in this film is very old.

Yeah, but 80 years isn't impressively old, just old. There is a fair amount of people around this age who is still alive (like my grandma). There are far older footages on youtube where you really could say that literally everyone there would be dead by now, but not this one.

autistische aktion True but it would not be unrealistic to assume that at least half the people pictured here are dead.

@@MrSomebodyyyy - 80% to 90% of people in this short film would be dead. Judging by the footage, it's 1965 maybe 1966 at the latest. Mini skirts made an appearance in 65 and I can't see a car with anything later than a suffix C number plate which means 64-65. Fashions aren't vibrant/colourful enough for late 60's. The girl with the great legs wearing the mini skirt (starting at 0:11) is very likely in her early 70's now. The young lad at 1:41 (probably 11-12) will be in his mid 60's. The girl in the green top at 1:43 will be in her mid 70's. The two fairly youngish guys shortly afterwards will now be in their late 70's/early 80's. Seeing as the average life expectancy is 81, I suspect at least one of those people will be dead. The rest in this video will be almost certainly dead. The man walking towards the pigeons would be 110 if still alive as would the chap in the bowler hat at 1:50. The chaps in bowler hats walking into the red telephone boxes would be at least 100-105 if alive today. I could go on but there are a lot of people older than 40 in this video and the chances of them still being around are very low indeed. My wife's Grandma died very recently and she was 95. None of her old friends were still alive. 1966 is 52 years ago. It's a long time. If someone was my age in 1966, they'd be 89 now.
