Guranteed that those views were more tolerant 40 years ago than you would get today in Sunderland City Centre

This lady was great ❤ and her views were not as I expected. Just goes to show that discrimination is not simply a generational thing, it's much deeper than that. Thanks for sharing. pic.twitter.com/TD7WDGJHYn

Much more tolerant than I thought it would be back then, in a very working class community too.
