Agree, not sure who or what has convinced us all that it’s a two party choice, unless you live in Scotland. Interesting one that, but I wonder if different countries cultures etc mean even if we said we want to be like a.n.other country whether it would work for the U.K. Scotland maybe not relevant, but they have some changes to rest of uk that are possibly for the better.
Oh i'd noticed, and I'm not sure any party at the moment is tackling that head on as opposed to fueling it. Its far more useful to everyone to set reasonable expectations, nothing comes for free, nothing. There are social issues to address, definitely. But I'm also a believer that people should understand that certain choices in life also count, whether thats focusing on your homework, saving that 50p that nanna gives you each time and building up a larger sum as opposed to it burning a hole in your pocket. Not giving up at the first failure, have determination, don't accept no for an answer, the basics of just trying to do your best. There simply must be a middle ground, at least i hope we move back to that position sooner rather than later.
Is that not just the generation thing, you know the whole ‘when I were a lad’ thing. Parents will probably always be saying ‘you don’t know how good you have it’ to their kids.
Unfortunately thats very true, but i firmly believe its actually the fault of many current generation parents that make the problem much much worse by not setting good examples. The amount of very soft parenting i see and hear, or more accurately the avoidance of what i believe as standard parental responsibilities is not helping. But thats a whole different thread in itself.
We are too diverse and multi -cultured these days to achieve any middle ground, so good luck with that one. Nice sentiment though.
Well if thats the reason for extreme policies, being diverse and multi-cultured, then thats a major problem.
I have friends who live in Clacton and have never moved from there and hate it. Everytime I go there I find the coast and the peace invaluable. The point being, even though we have something quite special, we will always moan we want more . What is telling though is just how much of that greed/need etc is followed by "why aren't the government doing something about it?" when most of the things we could do ourselves as that local community Labour is all about the nanny state, look at their policies "we will do it all for you" tories drive is "we will give you the tools for you to do it yourself". People are becoming lazier and prefer having someone to blame other than themselves. So whilst I have no doubt there is an element of "generational" about a change, there is a larger element of I am entitled whilst doing nothing myself," that wasn't there to this level before.
so, 40years of tory policies and social engineering have created selfish lazy blame everybody else attitudes? .yip. the most honest thing you have ever said.
I'm sure that is the way you will try and look at it and promote it fin even though you know that is not the jist. Be wary of a government who promises to do it all for you, financially none of them are able to sooth all of our wounds, even more so given the wounds we claim are increasing secondly, again, be wary of any government who wants to dumb down an electorate to a point where there first shout is "what are the government doing" rather than what can we do?
Finm beat me to it. surely the argument then would be 40 years of Tory policies have created this society.
despite the comments on Labour being tory lite, labour have been in power you know. We created this society, we vote them in. One of the things about brexit was a clean break would allow the "it's europe doing it" that always seemed to be on the back burner. to be challenged A genuine clean break would have exposed or shown just how much our mp's needed to improve and we needed to stop being so lazy about our politics and political choices.
Still looking for leaders who will make it all better, I see. Think for you, pay for you, care for you ... When will feudal Britain ever come to an end? When will there instead be a population of grown-ups living in the British Isles? I think that is impossible, the British psyche won't allow it. Serf mentality. The current Great Replacement cannot happen fast enough.
I'm not saying it's all parents fault, but as they're parents I'm fairly sure they could help filter brand marketing, guide, advise and generally promote what sort of manners, morals and expectations their children should have.
Still looking for leaders who will make it all better, I see. Think for you, pay for you, care for you ... . leaders create the motovation. govs create the conditions.
