I'll start with this....
A good friend of mine had his Supermoto Bike stolen last week - said bike was reported to the police.
Anyway a few days later his wife was walking to the doctors with his 3 month old child in a pram - anyway she heard the distinct noise of his bike and saw these two little ******* riding it down the road, so she took pictures
of these two with her phone to which they clocked her and about turned mounted the pavement and tried snatching the phone whilst calling her a b***h to which they then tried to punch her in the face.
After a bit of investigation my buddy found out who this little b***ard is and reported it - the police replied that they could not do anything and if they chased him he could cause an acident, and yet even when his wife was attacked they would not do anything.
Now the simple soloution would be to go down and knock ten barrrels of s**t out of him but he knows where my mate lives and is a bit of a bad lad plus my buddy has two kids and does not want any reprisals.
so basically he is fecked.
What is it with this country????? what the **** his happening?????
If your a no good thieving little ****** the police wont do bugger all and even if they do get caught they'll get a small fine.(which they pay off at a quid a week as they are on the dole) and maybe a bit of community service - who says crime doesn't pay, they're p1ssing themselves laughing as i type this.
yet if your a fairly law abiding person you seem to be f**ked over i.e. creeping over the speed limit and (as read elsewhere on s-net) spacing on number plates, i mean FFS how pathetic is that, quite happy to drag people to court with regards to that. but when it comes to trying to do a bit of actual work its 'sorry nowt we can do'
And somewhere else on here i read about 'Bin Wars' which is led by a load of beurecratic feckin jobsworths who have nothing better to do then fine you and stick bloody yellow stickers on yoru wheely bin if it does not adhere 100% to their silly excuse for saving the planet where in fact the truth be known its just another form of taxation that local councils have introduced to claw back for their overspending.
And to which brings me finally onto road congestion which it seems every large city council has expressed an interest in - which they would as its nothing to do with easing congestion and everything to do with raising more revenue.
Dont get me wrong i love my country (to a degree) but i can see it going to the dogs and collapsing into a big heap.
I mean there is only so much the average joe can put in the system, when are we gonna say 'Right' enoughs enough?
were taxed to f**k as it is we just cant go on putting more and more of our hard earned to sustain the goverments mis management of the economy and the scrounging ******* that choose to milk us for all our worth.
I think i speak for a majority on here and i may be wrong on some of my points but the last week of this and whats on TV have broke the camels back,
I could weep for the future i really could.
Ok rant over.

I wholeheartedly agree with you on the law and order front. The scum are havin a larf at out expense and the law seems to have gone soft, choosing easy targets who are less likely give them grief.
I think the bins thing is good though. Peopl are just basically lazy, and they should recycle. I mean, how much more do you want your council to do? Come into your house and sort it for you?
I don't believe in this global warming stuff, nor am I a tree hugger, but I can see just how much waste we produce, and it just makes sense to recycle what you can. I have 2 kids, and the amount of packaging that comes with toys is ridiculous, it's just so much waste! Throwing that much stuff away makes no sense.
You can only do so much landfill, recycle what you can.
Geezer

Chief you've hit the nail on the head.
The whole country is lazy dragged down by thieving cheating scumbags and as you say those of us that work abide by the rules get shafted daily.
Get pregnant - here have a 3 bedroom house and we'll pay all your bills for you
Can't get a job here have so many hundred pounds in benefits a month.
Granted there are genuine cases out there of people genuinely stuggling.
Ive always said what you pay in tax and NI should go towards you and your family should you ever need it ie: Operations, treatments etc
No matter what anyone thinks in 10 years this country will be in the gutter and by then i for one will not be part of it.

So we go to the supermarket , buy food in packaging we don't need then get charged to recycle it.
Personally the chief has hit it spot on. This country is turning gradually into a chavpit crime ridden scumhole. Why do i want my taxes to fund all these illegal immigrants and no-good dolies who sit on their ***** alday then come and nick my car when they feel like it and get 24hours community service.
People say voting causes change . Like hell it does. The electoral system is so biased and the news are controlled by the government. Until we ditch the looney left and the toffee-nosed right this country is so fecked.

New Liebour have screwed this country completely.
Economically we are screwed - despite high rates of taxation we still have the one of the biggest budget deficits in the world.
18% of the worlds debt is owed by the UK![EEK!](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/eek.gif)
Liebour have created an illusion of wealth in the UK, and when things go POP it will most likely take decades to recover

The govt. need to get off it's **** too and put some teeth into the law reagrding excessive packaging.
The prog also said that 18 billion plastic carrier bags are issued a year by the supermarkets. That's a staggering number, and that's just the UK. They take hundreds if years break down and are not re-cycleable (although they are re-useable). Aprt from the fact that they create a huge amount of stuff to dispose of, plastics are made from oil, and that is a diminishing resource. Again, it's not a case of saving the planet, but we just seem to be using up non-renewable sources faster than we need to.
I want to keep my petrol powered vehicles for as long as I can!!!!!!!!

One thing I don't understand, with places like Manchester trialling this road charging thing, will only local people have black boxes fitted? If I drive to manchester, does that mean I won't have to pay?

Cars & computers = vastly reduced interaction = selfish society
Town centres & waves of immigrants = no-go areas for many
Compensation culture & European pandering = limp wristed namby pamby pc society
The country is a pale shadow of its former self, but i think the effects are polarised. Urban areas especially are being dragged down by the lowest common denominators. The Empire is coming back to haunt us. We've made our bed, we have to lie on it, all in the name of "Britishness". Nah.

Learn to inflict damage to a person without leaving a mark.
That's my plan for when anything like this happens.
The Chavs and Neds laugh at any attempts by the Police so I'm quite happy to dish out justice myself.
I'm already enjoying my role as village "enforcer" if and when required.

If this was a truly democratic process, why can't members dish out plus points as well? Let's say you say something amusing (unlikely) and I find it funny so I award you three plus points and then you attack the geeks who dish out an infraction (say two points). That way a happy medium exists.
You could be on a roll and have us rolling in the aisles and get multiple plus points or conversely launch a savage an unjustified attack on some poor unsuspecting <insert aggrieved minority> individual and justifiably get banned.
Simple 'innit?
