It does seem that the author doesn't have a lot of time for certain elements of today's Britain:
unlike today when we go to so much trouble to foster a multicultural society, speaking Polish at school was strictly forbidden and punished.


Unlike today's asylum seekers, people then were grateful just to have a bit of stability and a roof over their heads, albeit in corrugated asbestos nissen huts or "rooms" divided with blankets.
