Britain isnt a lovely rose garden with a picket fence and little boys and girls without mobile and with parents not knowing exactly where they are, riding their bikes in the street or going to the beach or field for a kick about with the only requirement to be back before dark like it was when I was younger. That was back in the 80's and early 90's for me in nicer areas, however that isnt even possible in more rural areas now.
Instead, nowadays you have to give your kids a mobile and a knife for their birthday, classy!

Statistically there were more Children murdered during the 70s than now and peado's were still everywhere (more chance it was a relative), its just the fact you did not hear about it because there was not the reporting and access to information like there is now, UK is still fooked but every other country has its issues.Originally posted by wim121 View PostJust a few of the reasons why we have looked to migrate elsewhere .....

Not to worry then.It is the case these workers may well be displacing British IT workers, but equally it may well be that UK plc gains overall

England is not Britain.
Looking forward to the summer riots, is it an annual event now? Gold for the largest fire?
