      Winter of 93/94 - we had just flipped our Leopard 1 tank over on its roof in the 3 meter deep snow, almost crushing me standing in the commanders hatch trying to navigate in a whiteout to find the shooting range. Tank was loaded with ammo. We evacuated to the no. 4 tank in the platoon to avoid freezing to death as this was well north of the arctic circle. Was sitting on the floor in the loaders section of the turret with my crew, fully aware of the shitstorm about to come from higher up. It had already startet on the command net. My buddy the commander of no 4 tank put on the radio. And this song was what the radio blared out.
      Happy days - life sure had its ups and downs since but this song is still able to put a grin on my face :-)

I’m still continuing working hard in getting my body rejuvenated and walking again with a lot of physio and exercise at home.
    While I was in Rehab, I’ve been listening to 90s music which was my era (I was born in ‘97) and ‘Things Can Only Get Better’ has been helping me get through it all and has become my New Anthem. Music from the 90s is so full of positivity, inspiration, happiness and real talent of course 💚
    I’ve returned home and once my body’s has fully rejuvenated 100% in terms of getting my all strength, energy and coordination back. I’m having a big Welcome Home Party and ‘Things Can Only Get Better’ is on my playlist along with various other 90s music and some 2000s.

      I was born in 1961, between 1963 and with only a few years of Edward Heath, we had Labour governments, until Thatcher and Major. The Tories have been in power longer in my lifetime, than Labour, after Blair and Brown, because we got Cameron and his coalition, then the current, getting increasingly worse Tory governments.

      88 child here, I lived through the labour years (went to school during the 90s and early 00s), honestly, best government of my lifetime. The tories have utterly destroyed every single thing they could get their hands on since they came to power. I really hope it's finally time to remove them and hopefully for good but then this is the country that shot itself in the foot with Brexit.
      Ignore the people that will undoubtebly say "you dont know how bad labour will be".

    For the last year or so I've been asking "what haven't the conservatives made worse or even utterly destroyed". This song is essentially my question. Everything is f**ked. Things can't get worse, they can only get better.
    For the first time in years, I have a small amount of hope. This song feels like an outpouring of that hope.

      Domestically, the difference between 1997 and 2010 was night and day. It is not even close, you cannot compare it to the last 14 years because they improved THAT much within our country at the time.
      Brown made a speech before the 2010 elections which he was obviously going to lose after the global crash and housing market fumble, he essentially explained how improved things were and during the election campaign was honest about having to cut services at the time.
      Foreignically, Labour have a history of miserable failures. The Iraq war would have happened either way, but to still go ahead with it when it was an obvious lie was dumb. It's an obvious disaster that led to further immigration whether people support it or not, which is still favourable for most (although less so in a couple of years)
      Then again, the failure of the West to prepare Afghanistan before leaving was a shocking failure by Biden and Johnson's governments.
      Immigration has no real quick fix whether we are in the ECHR or not, and to leave it simply for immigration and then trust our politicians to replace the contents is suicidal.
      Ratcliffe and Farage have a lot to answer for with the recent immigration surge. Farage especially after his lie that Brexit would curb immigration at the time. It was so obviously a lie.
      The past declares Labour the current best choice.
