I agree that a lot of blame can be pointed to the Government, and maybe even the opposition, what does annoy me with our government is the way the Torys always slate Labour off (or the other way round when we had a Tory reign) no matter what they suggest, if they don't slate them off, they claim it was their idea and the other boy stole it. It is worse than a playground, why can't they just work together and bin all the nonsensical bickering and arguing.
There are a lot of things you could also blame, football hooligans in the 80's and 90's, over zealous PC brigade, peoples general lack of community.
This country as a whole never wants to annoy people, we are quite happy to agree with everyone and not offend any one person or section of the community. You don't see it to our extreme anywhere else in the world. Which is one reason the good lady and myself are looking to leave this overpriced, over run and over populated hell hole of an island that might as well be Europe's septic tank.
So we are looking at New Zealand. Less populated, more sense of community, better lifestyle, and about as far away from this awful place as we can get.
