TV happened, then it got poluted by the Americans  . Who needs community and respect when you an watch it all on TV and never leave the house  .

but whats the point in working when you can have a better life living on the dole

not always true, my gfs brother is on the dole and has a house provided by the council, hes been in the house for a month now, all the walls in the house have holes in them, no carpets in the house at all, non of the doors fit so its freesing non of the hosue is decorated, he complained at the start of the month and was told someone will come out in 5 weeks to survay it then they will get contractors in to sort the house out. he gets 200 quid every two weeks to live off. 150 of it goes on food, the other 50 goes on electricity heating ect ect ect.

so at the moment hes heating a house and constantly having to wear a coat (except days like this) because its so cold as non of the doors fit properly and there is no carpets and holes in the walls ect.

personally i know ide rather work 40 hours a week and earn alot more than that and be able to have money to do things ( he hasent had a night out or even a day out or gone to the cinema or anything for about 9 months because he cant afford it)

i know some people take the p*ss by getting a couple of grand a week for having 47 babies and claiming every kind of benafit there is. but most dont.

I was thinking the opposite the other day when a little kid who lives locally to me stopped to say hello and fuss our dog, I thought how nice it was to see kids being so well behaved and polite 

There's baduns and gooduns and there always have been...

Same happened to me,except when he had finished fussing I noticed he had pinched the collar....

It's really interesting to see that every time someone mentiones "what's wrong with the uk" the usual answer is "foreigners"...that's just shows the level of intelligence of people passing their opinion...

Cant blame people who come here if we dont set a good example for them.

You do live in birmingham to be fair 

And thats supposed to mean what, exactly? im a Brummie.. and bloody proud of it! im also a worker.. always have been. theres good and bad in every race creed and colour, but the biggest damage done to this Green and Pleasant is HAND-OUTS,
if you dont WANT to work and dont WANT to contribute to society, then fekk off !simples! those that think its a god given right to fleece those that DO work and DO contribute ought to be means tested at the very least.

At least I have one thing these lazy arsed fekkers dont and will never have.Pride that ive stood on my own two feet and not had to rely on hand outs for what i have.

It could be worse , it has a better quality of life than most places in the world.
 
You have a welfare state that may not be perfect but does it's best which is still better than most countries
 
You have the NHS which is envied around the world

Politicians are for the most part honest

Same goes for the police

The weather and local geologic conditions don't try to kill you.

basically apart from pockets of run down deprived areas with run down deprived people it's alright.

once the recession is over I'd rather be there than here in Australia and day of the week.

The UK is in trouble, but take a look at the rest of the world. Its is a corporation these days, a business. The only thing thats important is money and greed which fuels corruption.
