General Chat

Totally agree with you. I'd like to think that ; god forbid it happens; if one of my kids did something like this I would have the nerve to hand them in myself to the police. No it wouldn't be pretty but if they broke the law and I knew it.........
Don't get me wrong there are plenty of problems here in Canada too it's not all honey and roses. The school system does need a big kick in the backside and loads more funding no doubt, but they seem to want to try and help at High school level if the child wants to learn and behave....I can only comment on my own experiences.
We don't have quite the same mind set with benefits obviously, and maybe that's why there isn't so many teenage mums here ? Not the only reason you are going to hell in a hand basket but one of them no doubt in my humble opinion !

Just heard on news they are starting to charge those arrested, none so far have been given bail. Some of them are crying, good I say, perhaps in the cold light of day they will realise what they have done (somehow I doubt it)

Hi everyone, sorry if you feel this thread is here to express opinions as who is to blame or whatever - as far as I'm aware there is already a thread for that on here. This thread is really here to let others know you are still safe as some of us are in riot areas and it may be our only way of communicating that we are safe to others who care about us x

edit to add by me theres been 3 young people killed for trying to protect what they and their parents and grandparents have work hard to make theirs - surely our thoughts should reflect on those who are lost and who have lost and pray it doesn't happen again x

It is a roll on disaster.. one does it .. 10 do it.. .. 30 do it and on and on.
From the one, responsibility for actions get dilluted.
There are huge problems in the UK , this is the hardest time for people looking for work and no one seems to be listening.
There is anarchy in the UK and some people will inevitabley jump on the bandwaggon
All the Government seem to do is shut the door after the horse has bolted.
In 1914 we had a war and lot's of young men joined up , many were killed.
In 1939 we had another war .. same result.
I don't advocate war by any means but the value these generations learned are no longer held.
The UK is now sending money to other countries and ignoring the conditions their own people are being forced to live with .. cut after cut .. 'we are all in this together',no longer works.
This is now a benefit led nation and we are running out of tax payers to subsidise this..
If the UK was a business it would be closed down by the bankers.
All this was brought on by the the feel good effect of post WW2 1950's and that now includes the MP's who are more concerned about keeping their job than the welfare of this country,
Manufacturing is gone... the EU is milking us dry and STILL our elected representitives refuse to listen .

Agree with a lot of what you've said HH..but Footie has banned people from discussing it on here..she says it's for people to check in and make sure folk are ok..

Prob best to c and p and put on other thread ;-)

**EDIT** you are allowed to voice thoughts and prayers for the poor fellas that died in the car though..i forgot to say that x

OOPPS..
Cheers .. will try to keep to the subject matter of the thread :-S
Now .. 'cut and paste? ..

Glad to be of service ;-)

there are 3 ways to cut and paste HH, would you like any help?

Thanks Hayley ..but sussed the cut and paste bit .. now need to check out which thread to paste it . :-D

feel free to post on it mine or Merlins I am open to debates different opinions or points of view.

Oh please, if anyone is not safe or feels afraid l don't think they will put a message on this thread, ;-)

Footie, I did mention the three young men on the other thread...their family and friends have behaved with great dignity, and are appealing for calm.

hi Rose ty for that x Hi HH ltns hope yu ar well x All is well here x

first of all susan,some of these children were as young as 10,surely a 10 yr old should be inbed at 10am? this is a primary school age child roaming the streets at 10am throwing stones at the police,and no i dont think my own 27yr old son and 22yr old son are angels, but my god if i thought they were doing anything like what ive seen on tv, i would call the police myself and have them arrested. ive brought 4 children up,when they were young we only had one wage coming in and a mortgage to pay(before tax credits)yes it was hard and no my children didnt have everything they wanted,but they didnt go out looting and stealing,all of my children have worked since leaving college,but because they all low paid they still all live at home,they dont think the country owes them anything. :-D

what???

did I miss some thing there while I was cleaning my gerbils?

( That's not a euphemism lol)

Sorry Rose ........... a moment of rioutous emotion on my behalf.

Your servant .............L

yes,people commenting on the fact that some of us think our own children are angels .which is so not true.at the end of the day.parents should be looking after their 10 and 11yr old children.x

still :-S lol...but at least the gerbils have a clean bed for the night :-) and I know where they are at all times.

I am most relieved that your gerbils are under sedation Rose .......... for my rescued barn owls are most ravenous this evening !

ah but they are like their 'mum' Robin... docile until threatened
and then they 'turn nasty' lol ...your owls would have to be quick !
