/// Bedfordshire Police have also invoked Section 60 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, allowing them to stop and search without suspicion. ///
Will others now agree with me that our country is becoming much more increasingly dangerous, than it once was?
Because this kind of thing 'NEVER' happened in my day.

AOG you totally ignored everything else I posted.
Re: evidence, it really depends what questions you are asking. I would never claim to be able to know what it felt like to live in the 40s or 50s - I'd have to ask my parents or others who were around.
But there are some things we can know about without direct experience if we understand the evidence well enough. On the occasions I've said anything about the 40s on here, I've always backed it up with quotes from people who were there (just like you claim to have been - you don't have a monopoly on experiencing the 40s), or with evidence from courts (which was also written at the time). This is not on the same level as simply making assertions about things one is ignorant of.

The trouble with personal experience is twofold. First, it is peculiar to the individual;one person's personal experience is confined to their own place. You might as well ask a soldier what was happening in a world war, judging from his personal experience in it. Second, it relies on the memory of one person, and memory is commonly defective, often in improving the present perception of what the past was like.
