Are UK folks the thickest

[BULLDOG1964]

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.

It was the same at Camber Sands beaches were packed and cars queuing for parking spaces its total madness the way people act .

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.

I bought my first flat (with my then girlfriend) in 1984, 100% mortgage, my wages? £2.50 ph, it was shite wages but still doable. As a young person I didn't feel worse off, yes I was often skint, but you could work your way up, you could work your way out of poverty, it's a damn sight harder to do these days. How cheap was public transport? dirt cheap by comparison. Bank of mum and dad? That's a daily mail fabrication, a luxury afforded to the few. I wouldn't want to be starting out now, yes you can get an easy shag via Tinder, spend all day staring at a poxy small screen, or Porn Hub, healthcare has advanced considerably, due to technology, other than that, well...

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. .

Yes it is, but you cant live in a smart phone, many people cant afford anywhere to live, either bought or rented. In times past people used to buy their homes, or get a council home and rent their technology (TV's, video recorders, even washing machines). Now people, esp. younger people privately rent their homes, or most likely rooms, if they're lucky or well placed. Often having to live with people they don't even know or particularly like, no security of tenure, insane rents, council tax is another noose round the neck as well (not just for the young though). But yes they can buy and own the technology, cold comfort in my book. The one thing technology wise I would have loved back in the 80s and 90s was the ability to choose to vape.

I couldn't agree more ... very dumb and very dangerous.

People do seem to be getting dumber.
Not covid related but where I work, since the last 2 old timers retired, I'm the oldest there at 53.
The 2 youngsters they've taken on ( sub 30's) are as thick as shit. Absolutely no common sense but they actually think they are clever. If they are the norm it doesn't look good for the future.

They aren't the norm.

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.

My guess to there being no police in attendance as it wasn't a planned event obviously. I agree that the news reporter mixing without a mask wasn't the best idea.

In all honesty though, it would of been the same outcome regardless, whichever team had won the league they're fans would of been out in force just the nature of the fan culture. It was always going to happen. Especially the outpours of emotion from Liverpool fans most of whom have been waiting 30 years for that very moment, hard to believe they would all stay at home its just not going to happen. I see it no different to Bournemouth beach, blm protests. Its long been happening at beachs etc up and down the country well before this.

UK government are a joke. Don’t go out, go out only if you have to.
Don’t go to work, unless you have to, then you can go to work
Then you’ve got Cummings going to visit his mum.
BLM marches but can’t stop them or it’s racist.
It’s been a fcuk up from start to finish

Situation now in Spain is getting worse day by day, again, and we got freed up just a week ago

Are cases starting to increase over there again? I’ve been expecting cases here to start going up over here again too, but it doesn’t seem to have hit ... yet.
