Society is in the gutter

So sad when cool people get old and start spouting crap like this. I don't think it's actually intended as a racist/righty statement, it's just something in the old grey matter that starts making itself more and more known as they get older. Like that Elton John thing where he said comething along the lines of all new music being rubbish, not like the seventies when 20 amazing albums came out every week

Looting and rioting used to be just a pure, good olde English passing of time. Now it's violent and, by god, non-London (looking) people are involved in looting and rioting too. They are ruining it for the real Londoners.

Of course these days you're not even allowed to call it a gutter. You have to call it a "patio parameter drainage facility or otherwise". "Patio" because otherwise it's offensive to the French. We won't know where we are in ten years time...

don't know where "or otherwise" came from. kind of like it there.

Cleese was funny once, but he's always been a bit of a dick. A Liberal Democrat, in fact.

"Patio" because otherwise it's offensive to the French.

Hahaha.

La société est dans le caniveau gouttière!

I sometimes drink that, tho I drink the decaff one, the caffeine is prob why they're all so narky.

Immigrants have children for benefits

Joan Collins to the rescue: Brutally honest actress spells out how to put Britain back on its feet

I thought making a book out of an ILX thread was verboten?

I saw that Joan Collins link and I thought "that's GOT to be the daily mail" and what do you know

LOL the quality of her handwriting has a lower limit, reached only as a last defense against grave indignities.

He tossed another form at me and turned away, leaving me speechless with fury and scribbling the word 'British' in the worst handwriting I could muster.

Way to go, Joan Collins, for taking all the fun out of this thread

She's sounding increasingly like her brother Phil there.

"Even the F-word is commonplace among youngsters. As a child, it was only when I saw it written on a railway carriage that I asked: ‘Mummy what does f *** mean?’ The poor darling went ballistic, hissing: ‘That is the most terrible word in the English language, if your father ever used it I would divorce him.’

vs.

"Poor Monica, she will forever be remembered as the Count of Monte Cristo... give or take a vowel."

escapes on a technicality

what age did you first say "fuck"?

thread needs to get back on track. I remember this thread when it was all pithy comment on how bad things have gotten. Look at it now. A shambles, a disgrace. They should fly the flag at half-mast, but they have instead used to flag to decorate the table of a £600 PER WEEK flat in central london where JOBLESS IMMIGRANT LESBIANS play PLAYSTATIONS bought out of TAXPAYER'S MONEY.

Migrants and ethnics are now being paid NOT to keep-up their garden. Madness!

Stupid fucking country full of cunts, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrgggggggggghhhh!

It's no different from when I was a kid. We used to get caught hanging round street corners licking our own balls.

Headline: "Children behaving like animals, Barnardo's survey finds"

THIS IS NOT WHAT THE SURVEY FINDS

I rember a time that even murderers had breeding, you had to be Lord Lucan or Dr. Crippen before your misdemeanours showed up in the society notices, why now they'll print the foul deeds of just anybody, bold as brass there on the front page. Cuntish, I call it, cuntish.

STOP PRESS: HEADLINE HAS BEEN REVISED

Barnardo's volunteer project worker Natasha Cripps, who commissioned the research, said the word "feral" indicated a complete desertion of young people.

or alternatively, that thick people use it as a synonym for "badly behaved" because they read newspapers doing the same

reads like an onion article

feral

starting to behave like animals

"depressing" so many were ready to give up on children.

49% agreed children are beginning to behave like animals

'Scapegoat'

Peter Hitchins, in wondering whether maybe Thatcher wasn't all that:

http://www.theamericanconservative.com/blog/the-myth-of-margaret-thatcher/

...says this:

Meanwhile in the areas where the coalminers and steelworkers once toiled, gaunt young men who have never worked and never will work smoke marijuana or inject heroin untroubled by an emasculated police force, and their sisters have babies outside wedlock, adding to the enormous number of fatherless families dependent on state handouts for their narrow lives.

Time was you could kick a miner in the street.

omg

You smoking marijuana again, you gaunt young goole?

Yeah mate but 'e killed a dragon, innit. How many people do you see doing the same thing for Great Britain in Leicester or Romford Bradford these days? I'll tell you how many: none is how many. If I saw a dragon molesting a 15 year old or something, I wouldn't just stand there, I'd be like 'Oi! You filthy dragon bastard, get off 'er, she ain't even legal!'. Then I'd get a brick and I'd merk that boy right there and then. I wouldn't sit about waiting for some health and safety inspector to assess the reasonability of the situation. And that's why I'm here celebrating today.

just passed some children kicking a ball on the street

a passing car ran over the ball, making a big pop

society is in the gutter

You could put one foot in front of the other repeatedly to get to a location of your choice. These days you can't walk down the bloody street.

every single one of garda's initial posts in this thread is amazing but i think of this one sometimes

i'll bet the remnants of that ball have been thrown in a bin, and are now dripping with discarded beans and tin can juice

Nowadays the only occasion when people tuck in their shirts is when they want to show off the fancy decal on the pocket of their jeans. What is happening to this world??

You go into a department store and the security guards are too busy selling illegal drugs to the other employees to be bothered catching thieves!

These days it's adults who wear braces on their teeth, and it's mostly the adolescents who are in iron lungs

The only reason people go to church anymore is if they are looking to score drugs from members of the clergy

this thread really takes me back

The only reason these celebrities go to drug rehab is to advance their careers!

Kids aren't anorexic because of body dysmorphia anymore. These days they just starve themselves to get "high" and to get attention on twitter

It used to be "Sir" and "Mam." Now it's just "motherfucker this" and "motherfucker that".

That's not music, it's just shouting.

The only time people eat nuts nowadays is in the saloon while they're getting soused

Saw a young man dressed in a skirt over the weekend. Is it Halloween already??

You go to church and they pepper the sermons with foul language so that they can stay "hip" and attract new congregants

The greeters at Walmart try to sell me dope as I'm leaving the store!

Families don't even sit down and have nice conversations at the dinner table anymore. They're too busy tweeting each other pornography and washing down their mashed potatoes with Four Loko.
