“The myth of the 60s was created before the decade was out. But what we have lived with ever since is a mirage, a mass hallucination, a fantasy. ‘Why I Hate the Sixties’ examines the truth behind the myth. It suggests that we were living on borrowed time – we partied as Britain lost an empire and slid into unchecked industrial decline. Archive footage and contributors of all political stripes build the case against the decade.”
