Are UK folks the thickest

[gouldenvape]

Regardless of the recent Covid-19 situation, and having spent many years abroad, I'm sad to say that there are some very stupid people in the UK.
I must agree that the Americans are neck and neck, though.

Looking at the news I hope the Welsh government keep us looked down.

News is on and my god, how many idiots are in Bournemouth. Only BLM protests compare to the stupidity of our nation today. Why people are risking theirs and others lives is beyhond comprehension. Most of those down Bournemouth where Millenials The generation that had no punishments or discipline and have used its prohibitation to their advantage.
Of course not all millenials are like this but i witness more and more folks in that generation being antisocial and very selfish.

That's a ridiculous statement, there were all ages on the beach. Talk about no punishment for Millennials? Little or no chance of buying a home, no council homes for them either, shite jobs with no security and piss poor prospects for receiving a pension. Cant fucking blaming them for partying, they've not much to look forward to. ffs.

Is it not compulsory to wear masks on public transport

It is mate, but there are several exceptions to this.
For example, in my case I would not have to wear one if I did not wish to as I suffer from breathing problems, and carry an inhaler.
There are a variety of other reasons that make people exempt.

Because we don't want to catch it?

Precisely this. I did not hibernate because the government told me to, but because I’d been in contact with someone who showed symptoms (in truth, I panicked a bit, she had a cold). I also won’t be going to the pub or taking my family to Southend just because the government says it’s okay. In that respect, I couldn’t give a shit which government type does what, as much as it grates.

IQ rates are dropping in many developed countries and that doesn't bode well for humanity

Humanity is fed on a diet of Games Consoles, Mobile Phones, FaceBook, Instagram, Twitter, Free Porn and live on Fast Foods.
I am not surprised we are getting dumber.
Just look at some of the people leading countries.
The film Idiocracy is not a comedy it's a prophesy.

mate it's a rant. it just pisses me off when people ignore safety guidelines and most people who take their kids to beaches are in the Millenial bracket, i am late 40's. there are no houses it's our gov not supplying the demand for housing while people came to live here from the EU same with the job stuff Minimum wage £8 odd an hour lets say £3 a pint. My wage in my 20's £3.50 an hour a pint £1.50? . So we where worse off. Countless times i have tried to help or advise folks of that age and received rudeness and abuse they have then gone on to hurl more abuse just because what i had said was correct.
The partying thing annoys me because nothing was done about it by the Police. Yet in the past the police kicked the shit out of people even a pregnant woman for living in vehicles and partying. So we can just agree to disagree we both have our points. All i will say is we got by and so will the generations after. Plus technology is way more advanced today and opens up many forms of work which if you think and either remember or research you will also see that way more people where out of work when i was young it was over 3 million. Every generation has it's perils. I think more drama is created today. Pointless kicking off etc Do what we did which was the best we could with what we had' do overtime to make more money to provide if it where available. Go without luxury items to make ends meet. We should all be thankful it's 2020 and not 1520. If it where heads would be on sticks on the streets for protesting.
1977 Sex Pistols God save the Queen. "No future for you" is part of the lyrics so it is not just Millenials every generation says the same thing they worry about their future. Those Punks from 77 are pushing 60's now but most of them have had a future they are still around.

Interesting, today the media, local government, and local police have condemned the Bournemouth mass gathering, but watching the BBC news this morning there was footage from outside the Liverpool Football Stadium following their behind closed doors win in the Premier League.
It looked like the Brixton riots of years ago, with people bathed in the red light (probably from the flares they were lighting)
But the farcical thing about it was that the BBC reporter live at the scene was filmed bouncing around in the crowd with no face mask, looking as though she thought it was good behaviour.
In my opinion the reporter, and the film crew should be sacked !!!!!!!!
Also, why did there seem to be no police presence at all.......................

If you are interested, below is a link to the BBC website, giving an upbeat report, and photo's from the event.
It may not be there for long once the BBC realize what a fuck up their reporting has made.
