Some of the housing schemes in Scotland are in much worse condition, residents poorer and outlook bleaker than anything I have seen in London - the ones in london are middle class in comparison. Some schemes are now having 3 generations of full time unemployment. Yet haven't got to rioting yet, maybe its the rain that stops them.Comment

Originally posted by cojak View PostOoh, you do like your selective postings, SSProsperous Germany is also feeling the pinch of cost-cutting measures. The German National Poverty Conference (NAK) warns that prospects for young people are only growing worse.

And to find proof that Germany is also home to a latent tendency toward violence, look no further than the yearly riots on May 1 -- International Workers' Day -- in Berlin's Kreuzberg district and Hamburg's Schanzenviertel.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment
