But 4 years is not 4 years, its probably 2 if that and I would bet my last pound that with a week of getting out he will be behind the wheel, pi55ed and without insurance etc.

Did anyone else read the interesting series by ex MP George Walden in the Daily Mail recently ? Written in the form of letters to his Son who had informed him that he was seriously considering emigration.

Considered as fairly outspoken by some but a thought provoking read !

The litter thrown down, the sods who damage your car in the supermarket car park and drive away !!! just typical of todays attitude.
I was glad to see that the drunk driver on last night's Police camera action got 4 years in jail,he showed no remorse for his victim and I was glad the Police got him on this second occasion. We should have more of this but just think of the cost saving in our time, tax etc if all people behaved a little more responsably and thought of others and just think the world could be a better place !!!
However stop dreaming, this is Blairs nanny state and I am sure that before long motorbikes will be banned as being anti social and we will have to use electric scooters !! rant over, have a good day,


But this is a symptom of society as a whole. We glorify the things which are wrong and we put people down for doing or saying the right thing. Just look at how the gangster lifestyle is glorified in music and games. Your kids and mine are growing up thinking these things are acceptable and part of life today. No one is saying these things are wrong. Same with immigration. Everyone knows UK is a soft touch and a place to make money. I would welcome the same level of immigration as Australia in this country. We do live in a very privileged place in this country and if you have been to a 3rd world country you'll realise just how fortunate we are in UK.

We will reap what we sow !!

And the gits are going to make you pay for parking your bike in London soon!

That means that there`l be reduced parking coz they won`t be able to put enough parking meters on existing bays.

I don't take a daily paper but my dear old Mum cut out the articles and sent them to me Mark. It was an interesting read and he has a book out now regarding the parlous state of the country and our general acceptance of it.

Ha ha the only time I see the Daily Mail is when I'm at my mum's!

It's appalling and frightening all at the same time. Perhaps I'll appreciate it more when I'm over 80 too...

As I sit here, reading this thread in my(permanent) home in France, it re-inforces my feeling that apart from the occasional visit to family, I never want to be in the UK again.....
