I realy do not care about the 'POOR YOUTH OF TODAY'......guess what I think most of us had a hard start to our adult life, the late 80's was a deeper resession and harder employment environment than now and I did not go theiving or rioting!!
Like most of us, I got an education, worked hard and some how went through university (whilst working mornings and weekends at a bakery to earn some money), got qualifications and made something of myself now earning well and hapily married etc. Even friends who did live on the streets etc, they were not violent, ok devious and crafty in order to survive but never violent!!
Just seeing some pictures of Croydon, £1,000,000's of damage.....i deal with building fires and overseeing the repairs, each of the buildings are total losses.....that will be all of paying for this through increased insurance!!
I heard an interview yesterday which hit it on the head for me.......
'These kids expect everything for free and to be done for them, they get free education, paid to stay at school, get grants and put through college when they are not interested and then fall out of education expecting a job to be found for them as they have had everything done for them all their lives thus far'
Im saving to go to Oz in March, maybe I wont buy a return ticket!!
