Labour referring to the 1930s in Prime Minister's Questions

The problem with Labour referring to the 1930s in Prime Minister's Questions as some kind of economic benchmark is that very few people alive today can remember the 1930s.

In the 1980s it had some resonance as most people over 50 could remember the economic conditions.

Now it is just an historical event that they may, or may not, have been taught about in school.

Someone aged 20 in 1933 would be aged 80 now.
