Think the World's Bad Now? (TWBN)

Sometimes people seem to think things have never been worse; Iraq, Afghanistan, Climate Change, alright there's bad stuff around, but there was bad stuff before also:
The IRA Bombing Campaign
British Forces "Shoot to Kill Policy" in Northern Ireland
Single Party Dictatorships in Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Romania...
The Berlin Wall
Apartheid South Africa
British Food Was Bad (no, really bad)
Joke Records in the Charts
Nuclear Arms Race
Chernobyl
Margaret Thatcher & Co.
Ronald Reagan & Co. (they put a dummy in charge of the World's greatest superpower!)

Perhaps I'll do a series; plenty of material.
