Did a bit of drugs in these days did you?
I didn't live in the south for long in the 80s, i'm scottish.
In the south there were jobs, plenty of money, the total opposite to the remainder of the the uk, i travelled 300 miles to get a job, there was nothing in Scotland.
So when you go near the south, and it's the opposite to everywhere else it is like a dreamworld.
And so begins the reason for the behaviour of today, no work, plenty of time to sit around, mass redundancies,jobs and skills gone never to replaced, retiring at 40 as you'll never see a job again.
Drug dependency,heroin estates, crime gathering speed,ram raiding,children wandering the streets after midnight,the 80s were the beginning, it was almost predictable that this is where we would arrive.
i think one of the few solutions to have turned it all around much earlier was to do something like Germany or even France, keep work going, don't destroy every industry in one go, keep communites, keep the good things that we had.It's come full circle now as industries we threw away, buried forever, we need now.
If you watch your father, unemployed, never to work again, what message does that send out?
This is getting very political as a subject, but for me i can see where modern behaviour and anger came from.
One day i'll probably get angry and react if someone takes liberties again, as i said you have to weigh up your options, you could be dead straight away making the wrong choice.
I'm actually fed up dismissing, remaining calm, and putting up with every idiot who gives me hassle while cycling, or innocently walking somewhere."violence begets violence" as the saying goes.
