Were we happier in the Seventies — the 1970s — and have we lost our way? I grew up in Coventry with discipline, community, and respect. Today we’ve got more stuff than ever… but are we really better off?

This is me in the Seventies — eleven years old, outside my local church with my cub and scout group. My dad was a copper, my mum was a dinner lady. We didn’t have much, but we had order, rules, and a real sense of belonging.

That church is gone now, demolished. My mum died just months after this photo was taken. And looking at it today, I can’t help but ask — were we happier back then?

We’ve traded community for convenience, respect for self-interest. In this video, I’m talking straight about what’s changed, what we’ve lost, and why we’re paying the price. This isn’t nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake — it’s a wake-up call.
