I'm so glad the ancient kingdoms of Europe saw fit to open their doors to the Third World. I was just saying to the wife and kids this morning how wonderfully enriched we have all become this last thirty years as a result. When I was a boy there was none of this lovely heroin to enjoy, nobody had ever heard of grooming or gang rape and hardly anybody used to hack at their neighbour with a cleaver.
How boring those monochrome days of trade apprenticeships and a living wage were looking back.
An idea isn't responsible for those who believe in it.

We built up an unrivalled, mutually beneficial trade network and provided a working infastructure for the benighted regions if that's what you mean, Paul.
Huge swathes of the world ought get down on its knees every day and thank The Lord for Great Britain. It was us and not The Almighty that delivered much of it from evil.
What marvelous people we are, absolutely top drawer. Hat's off to the lot of us, I say.
Agreed. And we've managed to maintain close relations with almost all of those countries. There has been a massive cultural exchange and Britain has given her commonwealth the wonderful gift of cricket. If anything has helped hold this wonderful commonwealth together it's cricket and curry. And Carribean rum.

Uxbridge.
Americans cant help themselves.
They have a MASSIVE blind-spot relating to guns.
If we survive that long future generations will look back at them with a mixture of amazement and pity.
Gowerjack: I'd appreciate the next five winning lottery numbers, please.
Do you not even consider the possibility that "future generations might look back at them with a mixture of amazement" and admiration? And not a little chagrin?

Summon the police ...
The most irony-based replies to that go something like this: When you're being attacked by thugs, summon the police and they'll be there about ten minutes too late; but pick up your weapon and you'll be there in time to save yourself.

Germans want slavery for industry Germany has about 4 million illegal Turks It is Kurds and Muslims not IS Been at it long time
Basically,according to the german news this is just a squabble after a demonstration between the Kurds and some other Muslim faction in the city of Hamburg.
Fighting amongst themselves,happens all the time!

When were these halcyon days of yore when drugs and violent, sexual crime didn't exist?
If man evolved from monkeys why do we still have monkeys?

Its a case of we weren't as aware because of the ever pervasive MEDIA we now have and the sound bite generation of Police allegedly running our Police Forces-sorry Service.
Its definitely a case that people are more fearful now rightly or wrongly .
My mum was from Sandfields and I don't remember much in the way of crime and doors were never ever locked; min fact my nans was always open.

Happier days no doubt
My mum lived in Sandfields too and she never let me out on the street because drunken men were beating each other up and abusing their womenfolk the livelong day. People who think the old days were better are just nostalgic about their own youth. As a society we are getting more humane, but also more aware of inhumanity and therefore more frightened of it. And it's so easy to demonise sections of society which are outwardly recognisably different and make them culpable.

I rather think you've confused Sandfields with Gomorrah there.

Go back 120-130 years and good old Victorian England was a cesspool, literally and metaphorically...
Most of the eminent authors and poets of the day were bombed out of their heads on Laudenum, balls deep in a rent boy in an Opium Den or both...
Politicians were corrupt and forever being caught up in sex scandals.
The working class and illiterate, helpless poor were full of VD, ringworm, rickets and soaked in stupefying Gin...
This wonderful Sceptre'd Isle eh...?
Plus ca change...

You pay your money and take your choice.
I was going to write saying how far over your head my comment went but then I couldn't expect someone outside South Wales to get the cultural reference.

For real??! I would imagine the inhabitants of Diego Garcia or should I say ex-inhabitants would beg to differ.

This may be a cultural misunderstanding centered around a certain comedy rap band from Newport.

Bit of a let-down being so characterized, coming from you who have always been courteous.
Not all comments need to be answered by trying to show one's "cultural" wisdom. nor to show that a comment did not "go over one's head."
I thought my reply a good one, "but then I couldn't expect someone outside the U.S. to get the cultural reference."

One of my earliest memories as a kid in Fleet Street was being dragged back into the house as two girl gangs (teds and rockers) went at it with chains, dustbin lids and Christ knows what else.
