The Worst Year In British History
“THUGS terrorising the streets; the economy in freefall, a deeply unpopular war and a government in permanent crisis.”
We know. We know.We know…
“No, not 2008…”
Oh?
“…but 1812 - the year that’s been named the worst in British history.”
So says the Mail. But what of the global warming?
What of MRSA, bendy buses, Rogarians and battery chickens? What else do we need to be No.1.
Is it time to being back (gulp!) Anthea Turner..?
The 100 Worst Years In British History (Volume 1) premiers this weekend on Channel 4

1812?
What? Shit drains in the streets, no anaesthetic, hangings, mice in skirts, nits in wigs…
Great comparison. All be grateful! Economic freefall in 2008 anyday.

I would say 1966, followed by 1967. They suck big time.
