Do you think the decline of Britain started in the 1960s with degenerate music from the Rolling Stones, Beatles and the hippy culture?
Their records promoted free love, drug abuse and laziness which the youth seized on. The result, a few generations later, is a underclass culture embroiled in debauchery, degeneracy like homosexuality, bisexuality, transgenderism, and mixed race relationships, and a lack of patriotism which has driven this country into the ground compounded by lack of discipline.
The 1950s was the peak of modern Western civilisation.

The 1960s certainly I troduced drugs into the middle class. I remember in the 1950s middle class white kids, never heard of marihuana. Heroin was something "the colored people did, in Harlem".

No. And none of that was important. The rot set in with the post war generation and the music and floppy trousers were nothing to do with it.

Britain declined after WW2 when they let the Caribbean's, Indians, Pakis, Bangladeshis, Africans, Roma, Gypsies, Arabs, Turks in. Bad mistake! Britain should have followed the Australian example of Whites Only immigration policy.

Explain what you mean by decline.
There has always been an underclass, they are like the upper class but with no money.What you call debauchery has always gone on, I suggest you read some history.You could start with easy history in the form of historical biographies.Try one about the Curzon sisters, all of whom, along with their stepmother, committed “debauchery” with the leader of the British Fascist Party, Oswald Mosley.Ignorance must be such bliss for those who espouse it. It’s just tedious for the rest of us,

Nope. That was just a change in music. A liberation of what could be said.

1950 was about conformity - dressing like oldies before your time!
Hypocrisy!
"What will the neighbors say" mindset!
Bowing and scraping! Knowing your place in society! To suck up to those higher classes!
Who didn't necessarily have any more intelligence, manners, merely the recipient of an accident of birth!
No different from king Louis or Czar Nicholas being ordained by God!
As if!
