Is Britain broken?

Family breakdown has to have a lot to do with this imo.

It doesn't help that authority has been taken away from schools for at least 20 yrs, and getting worse. Can't tell them off, not allowed to touch them, by that I mean can't grab their hand to prevent them running off, no punishment, its ridiculous. I wouldn't want to work in a school.

That's definitely part of it. When you let standards drop it has a domino effect. Letting people get away with minor crimes like shoplifting then snowballs into them thinking they can get away with major crimes and so it goes.

This is one of my favorite Brits.

I've seen him on with Bill Maher.

He is basically saying what I've been saying since your protests kicked off.

You should watch this. The dude knows what he is talking about.

He is basically saying what millions of Brits who live in this country have been saying for years.

True.

But he touches on the points of what being ignored is doing.

Instead of saying you have reasonable concerns but are wrong for the following reasons, the concerns are ignored and those with them are called racists..

Government needs to listen to and respect the people.

It doesn't have to do what they are told by those the most upset, but it needs to acknowledge their concerns.

That's where so many leaders now fail. They feel their allegiance to their team means discounting the concerns of the other for fear of alienating their base.

They can't be seen being respectful to the other team.

It's sorta the Trumpifacation of politics. It's divisive as fuck and won't end well..

Exactly, and that also applied to parents, it's illegal to slap your child in the UK. I'm not saying slapping children is a good thing, but there are some brats who would benefit from one...that's for sure.

Yesterdays little brats who were not disciplined, are todays thugs....that's how society works.

Police were told not to bother showing up if shop lifters were stealing less than a said amount, so they got away with it, now shop lifting is at an all time high.

Any wonder?

Parents moan if their precious kids get into trouble. Complain to the Head. So yes they're to blame aswell. Smacking never did us any harm, smack on your bum I mean, or tap on your arm, hand etc. Parents also taught us right from wrong which we applied to our kids, who do to theirs. If we got in trouble in school, we got in big trouble from our parents.

Trouble many of today's parents can't be bothered to spend time with their kids. No structure. A different life, and not for the better.

I think some parents are more interested in being glued to their phones than interacting with their babies and children.

Horrendous.

These pigs have to get a punishment that fits the crime.

Get them and keep them off the streets for many years, their hatred is too inbred.

It's a young man with a baby buggy getting his throat slashed by a migrant. Very graphic and very scary. The papers seem to have played it down. Update is there was no baby in the buggy. The guy was collecting stuff to sell. Even so, it's pretty horrendous.

Saw this, appalling. Have they arrested him yet??

They've taken it off X Digs. Can't have an immigrant seen to be stabbing a Brit!
