sick sick world

Ok, now, can we get some balance here? There is so so much bad stuff going on, but let's be real here, the world has not gone worse, we just hear about it more now. Please don't just focus on all the bad there is, there is so much more good going on, it just never makes the news...

Bring back proper criminal sentencing for a good stretch of prison, without play stations, TVs, etc, just a good cell with basic rights.

Too many sick people out there..................and wot do the politicians want to do, give out lighter sentences.

Build more prisons and lock these vermin anyway for a long long time

There is no discipline any more. You arn't allowed to discipline and we are reaping the consequences of this. With discipline comes respect, you get repect nowadays for carrying a gun or a knife even though this is outside the law.
The poloticians on all sides have lost sight of the fact that it dosen't matter how many laws are on the Statute Books, if someone is an habitual law breaker they'll carry on regardless. i wasn't having a go at the eastern european folk that came here to work as i don't class them as scroungers, they're workers. i am talking about bogus asylum seekers and illegal immigrants that are draining our benefits and taxation system. i reckon there is more people not paying taxes now than there are paying taxes. one of the many reasons this country has gone to the dogs.
As for the 'scrounging foreigner' remark', unfortunatly I think you'll find that its the indigenous people that are the scroungers! The eastern European folk that headed to the Uk did so to work. Some of them may have worked on the black no doubt, but they were working. I think you'll also find that since the 'downturn', most of them have returned home.

Has the girl died now? We heard in the news but didn't quite catch it that a 14 year old girl had died (and it wasn't the 5 year old who got shot). Don't know if we're mixing news up though.

 

[DHTiling]

I heard on sky news this morning that the 14 yr old had been released from hospital..

BBC News - Man charged with attempted murder of Chloe West

 

[Dan]

Yeah just found this too: Chloe West stabbed 9 times at school gates speaks for 1st time | Mail Online
Thanks god.

Don't know what we were hearing bits of then.

 

[user123]

wow ... she had a guardian angel with her then... what a relief

 

[chrisroe]

The update is the girl has been released from the hospital after a bit of plasitc surgery souns like the quick actions of a few people saved her life
She lives less than 1000 yds from my home and it really has shaken us all up
My son is at the primary school in the next road where we also live and the school she goes to is getting better every year Its a nice area to live in

Totally shocked and saddened for the girl and all involved but big amount of respect for the lad who dived in to save her (incidently he is the son of my sons schools head )

We did hear it was drugs and gang related ie she hadnt payed her supplier so he stabbed her. This is not true at all She is a good kid with a good family and has nothing to do with drugs . The lad who commited this is also from a good family with a mom who is a headmistriss sound like he was a bit of a loner. He did know the girl but how well im not sure

lucky escape but it will leave her scarred physically and mentally for life !

 

[kilty55]

shocking news,hope she recovers quickly

 

[White Room]

Lets just hope she gets over this but there will be more than physical scars to cope with.

Just yesterday, round the corner from me 24 year old stabbed in the neck, air lifted to hospital, not looking good. The reason I think it is getting worse is when i was younger (bear in mind I am 30, so not that long ago) if you got into a fight you had a fight. One gets the better of the other, that was it. Now if you were to do the same chances are you will end up with a knife in your back because everyone seems to be carrying one.
