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 !!
