Yep, the face of a piece of shit.
I sat on jury service a few years ago - a case of GBH, someone glassed in a pub, blinded in one eye and scarred for life. The guy that did it then proceeded to stamp on his head, and it made me realise that there are people around who have absolutely no sense of morality whatsoever.

Thatcher introduced the 'Me' society. Suddenly the City ,where I worked, was populated no longer by chaps in bowler hats but 'loadsamoney' types, with white socks!
I much preferred an England with miners!

Thatcher introduced the 'Me' society. Suddenly the City ,where I worked, was populated no longer by chaps in bowler hats but 'loadsamoney' types, with white socks! I much preferred an England with miners! Me too. I used to do contracts on mines. Just about the worst job in the world, but made tolerable, and sometimes even enjoyable by the men in that industry. Some very happy and fond memories of a proud bunch of men who looked after each other. And significantly, normally unemployable young men who were sometimes perhaps not born with a full deck of card still had a job, maybe on a shovel on the surface, but a job nevertheless. |

There seems to be a lack of empathy in the kids and young people of today, I don't know whether this is down to film/ tv/ gaming or just a lack of respect that has been creeping into society for a couple of generations. It's frightening when faced with children who cannot or will not see that punching, swearing or disrespecting another is wrong.

Typical Toryism.
Take people's jobs away and then brand them as layabouts.
Those particular layabouts could still be gainfully employed .Meanwhile we import coal.
Thatcher lives on!

More complicated than that Arena. Deep mine coal, given the very high standards in British mines, yes really, is damned expensive and it is very much cheaper to import open cast coal from Australia or China. It is I agree very sad that former miners are unemployed, but so are farmworkers wheelwrights and many other trades people.
One thing for which the labour government should be ashamed is kidding people that 50% of the young should go to university, mostly in those days paid for by the state and expect to come out into a well paid job. They don't and I have interviewed people with degrees that are unemployable.
