I'm really not trying to score cheap political points, but trying to think when we as a nation changed, I think it was in the seventies, and the Thatcher era were only the 'me' generation counts, and sod the rest of society because I'm going to do what I want.

thats it in a nutshell, remember when young some grumpy sod threatened to tell me dad, that was it crapping time, now when this grumpy sod says owt to em, you get so what? F off, or words to that effect kids have NO FEAR of retribution now,at the end of the day,they can prosecute parents, teachers and i wonder whose to blame for that

its fine gordon brown saying i will be tough on the gang culture etc thats too bloody late, you gotta start at home, good parents manage it,so why cant the others? its those that have to fear retribution cos thats the only way they will teach the kids.
