Record debt, gun crime, the inability to apply justice to crime, massive immigration, our children being failed as a society and many other aspects of modern day living in Britain. When was the seed change which took us down this terrible road?

Ten years of Labour
Prisoners that have more right's than their victims.
Prisons are over flowing with people that should not even be in this country..... send them back.....if they are illegal...we can not keep making excuses if they knew that would happen
they would not come in the first place
then they could send persons like peodophiles to prison its time to get tough.
The human right 's of the British person wether they be Black White Asian European or West Indian origin, should be formeost in our goverments mind
Outsourcing of essential Services where profit is more important than the service that they should perform.
Soldiers with sub standard equiptment having to buy their own
because the goverment has brought cheap rubbish from abroad to save money,whilst closing down and putting out of business companies that have made first class products for our defence for years.
Children that have been left to go unchallenged when they do wrong, how can you tell a violent little Yob "Go sit on the naughty step"
Discipline for children is against the Law ,a sharp slap on the hand when little johnny is banging the TV with a hammer is classified as abuse,then they grow up and hit old ladies
Parent 's who will not take responsibilty for their own children
letting roam the street's causing trouble because they are too much of a problem in door's.
How can you take something away from a child to punish them when they may not have anything to take.
People living on credit because they can't afford to
Eat pay rising housing costs,buy food, pay council tax and energy bills and buy the kids a pair of shoes.as well as wages in certain sectors going down ....brought on by cheap labour
Britain and its people have been devalued by this goverment.
Immigration has stretched our services to breaking point......Our Housing and Education are also suffering.
Social Housing is firstly allocated to those in most need, one would say that immigrants are in most need......what about Our Children they can not afford to buy a home.........
Education ....schools have to employ people to teach english before they even touch the curriculum, that is taken from the budget of the school
thus removing it from needs of all children.
This Country Needs Direction Discipline and a firm Prime minister who will not go down in history books as the man who screwed a nation........as Blair will
We need to put our House in order now, we are failing our children and the future of our once great country

Hooray for rampant xenophobia!
Government money is simply not spent properly - which is why we have a failing education system which does not produce enough skilled workers, an ailing health system with absurd wait times, and top-of-the-range guns and other armaments for our continuing, uninvited presence in the middle east.
A great many of our foreign residents are good people who work in skilled fields (such as medicine) and actively contribute towards the economy, unlike the racist mouth-breathing pillocks which our country seems so excellent at pumping out.

When they 1) Banned capital punishment.
Murderers now serve the same terms as rapists etc,the fear of a death penalty does n't exist..there are pooltables,gyms,colour TVs..even drugs in jail now...a bit like Butlin's really.
2) Banned corporal punishment.
Kids today know that teachers,policemen etc are not allowed to lay a finger on them..and they will boast that they know.."Can't touch me..I'll sue you"..etc.
When kids knew the boundaries and that there were repercussions for crossing them,they thought twice about it.
Yes,there were a few hard-core cases who got caned more than once but the vast majority NEVER got caned..me included...but the THREAT of the cane was enough.
What is there now?.. a stern telling off by a policeman..they just laugh it off and do it again.You can't even lock up repeat offenders...not just in jail..in care homes etc..(human rights you know).
3) When this country became more secular...the things we were taught in Sunday school kept us on the straight and narrow,the difference between right and wrong,respect for our elders etc.
4) when the government undermined marriage,by taking away the married person's allowance and making living together appear just as good as being in a stable married relationship.
They now throw money at unmarried mothers..the more little bastar*s they have,the more money they get.If benefits were kept to say the first(possibly the second) child..there would be many
unmarried mothers(now called single parents by the PC crowd)
who would stop when they had to pay for their own sprogs...not have us do it for them.
Is it too late to go back??..I've a nagging suspicion it might be...a good start would be to get rid of this lefty labour government...worth a try isn't it.
sylvie c has the right idea but I wish she'd stop putting apostrophes in every word that ends in S.(parent's,door's, right's etc..it makes for difficult reading)

The answer lies in your question....'massive immigration'
The England I knew and grew up in has all but vanished to be replaced by a 'multi-cultural society' with all the troubles and woes this brings with it.
I can see some people saying my comments are racists but these people think that black people are white people with a black skin...they are not they are culturally different.
Too late to do anything about it now but grin a bear it and wait until the white folk are in the minority.
The powers that be are clearly concerned and try and push black people as much as they can....just watch Blue Peter..the kids show...every time school children are shown they are black..an outsider waiting the program would assume England was a black country......which it soon will be.

About ten years ago when the Glasgow Labour Party took over England and tried to make England in their own image!
