Ashamed Of My Country

[Guilbert53]

For most of my life I loved living in England, I was proud to be English, and thought it one of the best countries in the world in which to live.

But gradually that love has been eroded. I see more and more that I don't like - stabbings, shootings, drug gangs, car thefts, sex trafficing, modern slavery, crime everywhere, and much much more.

Many of these things (slavery, house over crowding) we thought we had got rid of in the Victorian age but they are coming back.

And today I see this on the BBC news page. The Mobike "shared bike" scheme is pulling of Manchester because of continuous vandalism of their bikes.

Ok a small set of crimes in themselves but this company are pulling out of Manchester, the only city in the world where they have had to pull out.

Sadly we seem to be bringing up a collection of youngsters where anything on the street is "fair game" to be stolen, vandalized, thrown in a canal or whatever.

I said to my wife a few months ago that we are getting a sort of street anarchy among some sections of the community, where they will do anything to "get their own way", even if it means shooting or stabbing someone.

I saw a program the other day where two young punks dragged a woman out her car and stole it. They did not realise that there was a video camera in the car (dash cam) recording everything they said and did.

Part of their conversation covered what they would do if a person resisted while they were stealing their car. "I would kill them without a moments thought" said one of these punks, and this was a guy who was only about 20.

What sort of society are we creating in this country.

p.s. I know someone will blame the Tories for cutting police numbers, and even though I am a strong Tory voter I do feel that this trend should be reversed. However this rise in crime is more than just about police numbers, it is about some sections of society who just don't want to live by any rules.

AOG you seem to be hell bent on annoying people today. Yes we know the OP stated England, but is the problem not the same UK wide? Your remark to Rockrose was totally uncalled for - are you by any chance racist?

[Rockrose]

Well it seems then according to AOG it is only England that has an issue with multicultural - wonder why that is?

[Baldric]

THUD!!!!!!!!

[Rockrose]

*chortlesplutters' maggiebee

[Baldric]

To be fair, the OPer did refer only to his Country which is England, and did not mention any other part of the UK.

[maggiebee]

Not bash AOG day at all. He just needs to put his brain in gear before sounding off. Not even his OP.

"I know that I will be called Racist or Xenophobic for daring to say this, but the demise of our once beautiful country lies firmly at the door of the Multi-Racial Multi-Cultural experiment, which has been allowed to flourish unhindered in England. "

save me typing it all out...spot on

[Rockrose]

Baldric does that mean we are not allowed to answer unless we specifically mention England then?

[anotheoldgit]

Be careful LadyCG or you will have that great liberal thinker Baldric calling you a racist.

[Rockrose]

OK Spath - does that mean that we can pull you up in future when you steer the thread off course.

/// May I remind you that this is not your thread and whether I make a contribution or not is nothing to do with you. ///

I couldn't care less if you contribute or not, just stop moaning that you are bored with the same old thing.

I was only giving you free advise on how to overcome your boredom, since it seemed obvious that you couldn't work it out for yourself.

The past and the continuing pouring in of masses of people who have no desire to integrate, learn our language, adhere to our laws, leave their own practices and morals behind them, etc sure as hell doesn't bode well, does it? Yes, I'm a racist: multiculturalism aint working and never will...Call me a name or two if it makes you feel better.

[SparklyKid]

Go AOG,lol.

[SparklyKid]

Quite right sanmac

spath - every time aog posts, it turns unto a 'bash aog thread', surely you have noticed that ?? And why shouldn't aog post a thread about England, that is where he lives and that is where he is worried about, as am I ! Yobs simply don't care today because of the lax laws and they feel totally untouchable, because mostly they are ! It is very scary. Totally agree with what LadyCG says.
