What in gods holy name is this country coming to a young life cut short by some violent thug.
Polish gypsy family sticking two fingers up at Britain because we objected to her 13 year old daughter marrying a 14 year old boy , all on benefits and living rent free.
Soldiers not on active duty having to apply for "hungry Soldier" tokens because the pay is that p**S poor they have a job to live.
I grew up in the 60's a far more gentler age.
I don't know the answer but may have a few suggestions that would have the moral liberal brigade hunting me down thoughts us

Yep, some things never change.

I remember the 70's......winters of discontent, 3 day weeks, power cuts, 3.5 million unemployed, public sector workers on benefits, strikes, .............

Deja Vu.

Its bad state

We are living in a world that has forgotten its creator God and tries to live out a life that that says; I WANT, I WILL GET without working for it.

We are a rich nation but are kept in poverty by the Government while they stack up their own wealth with above inflation rises and a pension pot that is overflowing, while those who need help to get on their feet are overtaxed.
We need to see a Change in Society and parents to take responsibility for there children's actions and a return to a God centered life, yes we CAN BLAME the Government for watering down family life and morals as they have not put enough emphasis on Marriage and commitment that brings such stability to whole communities.
