This nostalgic film I spotted on MySpace speaks for itself. It captures the pride and prejudices of the British white working-classes with the turbulent 1980s politics as a back-drop. I remember the Thatcher-era where her policies led to the weakening of unions in the UK, the sell-off of public housing and the Argentinian war. I don't remember much racism as shown in the film. I grew up with Indian, Jamaican, and English kids and in my school nationalist sentiments weren't tolerated.
Anyway, I think the 80s British who didn't like the way Britain was heading left...for places like Florida and Santa Monica. It's true.
This is England
