CHUCK NORRIS FOR PM.
but seriously, the uk is going to shit. the night before last someone was shot in the town near me, so gun crime is spreading and its getting worse. these stupid pricks carry round knives, meat cleavers, tasers, batons, guns, and a nice supply of drugs and alcohol. its no wonder they dont give a fuck about being aught. you dont just one day start stabbing people or intimidating them, its a gradual process, a mindset you feel you have to get into; peer pressure. the reason they dont give a damn when they get caught is they know
1. theyve got away with whatever they did so many times, it was worth it getting caught
2. they have no education. at 15, some of them were already TWOCing cars (taking without owners consent) and not bothering to go to school. when they do, they get expelled and their parents dont do a fucking thing.
3. a lot of what they do isnt helped by their parents. theyre the ones not showing them discipline and control from an early age.
all of this contributes, and thats just in the poor areas. there's many other young people that are well off too, and they just like to get drunk, and get into fights to prove to their mates and themselves that theyre big and hard. and there's mp consequences, so they get away scott free.
police are having to make cutbacks, and yet they need more of the on the street (thats a no-win for a start), ad there's all these stupid-ass regulations that they cant do something, or touch them until this happens, and there cant be any of this etc. its bullshit.
we do need a good pm yes, but we also need MP's that dont waste the taxpayers money on their house bills and expenses. they earn a great deal more than a majority of the population, and yet they expect to have some of their luxuries paid for by us, the people that can hardly afford to get to work due to fuel hikes, the people that dont dare step out their door in case of being intimidated or attacked, the people that are paying taxes, and trying to make their own lives comfier, instead we're being forced to pay for morgate on their 2nd house, the traveling costs of them coming down from scotland to London for a meeting etc. also bullshit.
fuel is also getting ridiculously high. a few years ago people were striking because it hit the 90p mark. diesel is now at an average of about 131.9p and petrol is about 116.9p and there's not much being done in the way of boycotts, strikes or really anything at al. the only thing we're doing is complaining about how crap it is. the best bit about these fuel hikes is that WE'RE PAYING V.A.T ON THE TAX. and the government are trying to do everything they can to make the price lower except take any tax or v.a.t off it. theyd hate to lose out, but so long as they can afford it, everything is OK.
also, look at food prices, the basic things we need such as milk and bread are going up in terms of price, to such an extent some people are really starting to struggle to live and there's nothing anyone can really do. mix all this with massive gas, water, and electricity price hikes and if it all keeps escalating like it is at the moment, the UK is going to end up like Zimbabwe.
And anyone that says "these bastard foreigners are ruining the country, making it worse" theyre not. theyre filling up the spare jobs in the economy, the jobs that lazy people living on the doll and benefits cant be bothered to g and get. they complain but its those jobs that they should be doing in the first place. we shouldnt have to need people from eastern europe to help fill up jobs that people from are own country cant arsed doing.
so we need: a new PM, new MP's that are trusting enough to look after themselves, more police, less tax, lower fuel, electricity,gas,water,food prices, more control on alcohol,drugs,knives and guns, a lower inflation rate, more stable house prices
ive only ranted on but a few of the main things that are contributing to a broken country, there's others, so dont think its just whats above thats to blame, its not by a long shot.
here's some statistics on it all. [pdf] -
