To be honest how many people bother in their neighbourhoods anymore? The simplest form of politics (where governments can't be blamed), such as picking up litter on the street, to going out and tackling other neighbourhood problems. Or ignore the problems, leave it to others, blame everyone else and close the front door, how many people every year vote for that? Too many. "There's no such thing as Society".

a lot of truth in that, main problem with neighbourhood problems is quite simply - you get involved and they take the p***, swear at you, threaten you, so i agree theres no such thing as Society.and as an afterthought the goody goodys @ P.C. brigade have destroyed it, theres NO deterant.
