Arnt you the lucky one but tell me what great viral infection has suddenly changed young people of say 30 years ago who would work for tuppence a day into according to you the useless bone idle work shy pillocks again according to you that we see today it couldnt be the greed,hypocrisy and self centeredness of the previuos generation that we both belong to could it.Oh no of course we were perfect i forgot,silly me.But there again we had the chance of gainful employment and didnt have to compete with imported labour, who will still work for tuppence a day,from all over eastern europe and asia.Also not forgetting that once upon a time we had industry,remember industry you know making things,mostly crap things but things none the less.
I’m sorry that you are so bitter and twisted, it must be painful being you and living with the destruction you and others wrought on our once great land.
Me, I enjoy life and so do my kids and grand kids, so three generations of happy people. I know who I’d rather be.
Yes we did compete. We competed with the Irish, Jews, Indians, Pakistani’s, Jamaicans, Welsh and Scots to mention a few. We lived through the cheap ‘imported workforce’ days and still made it. The unions and Thatcher jointly destroyed manufacturing through their insane desires of power and greed. The working man wasn’t the cause, he was the effect of the baubles placed before him.
However, non of that destroyed our children, the social liberals did that when they gave children a bill of rights. Rights that said you don’t have to go to school, you don’t have to accept any form of punishment, you don’t have to be responsible for your actions, you don’t have to pay into the system etc etc etc. Neither you nor I did that, the people we elected in good faith did that, they sold our children out and the one crime is that no-one did anything about it. The thing that the English forget is that the whole ‘British empire’ thing was built on foreign labour to start with, it is nothing new and just because it has come home to roost doesn’t change that.
I’m going back to being antisocial now as this is becoming a ‘same-old same-old’ conversation, cheerio-o
