This does not surprise me

I realized this during the New Labour era that it was going to look very different in future. The people with "generational wealth" will be targeted. Government policies like inheritance tax introduced to transfer wealth to the new generation, plus exit taxes if you want to emigrate.
 
It's fairly clear our demographics are changing.
Especially when less births are happening overall.. If specific demographics are not reducing and that demographic has a concept like this (males named same) it's going to increase the proportion.
 
14 years of voting for the most nationalist, xenophobic dogwhistlers in town, and this is the result.

Anyone with a scrap of self-awareness might take a quiet pause to reflect on their wherewithal, but no. They're all in here, blaming everyone but themselves.

:cry:

The UK will look very different in 30-40 years time and nothing can stop it from happening.

All these kids aren't named after Salah.

I'd make a long whine about our culture being wiped out, but our government and big business killed our culture long before immigration did.

Which of your contributions to "our culture" are you most sad to see undermined?

(Whenever anyone mentions British culture, they can never name any contribution to it they've made. It's always a shirking, entitled "someone else should do it for me" attitude - I'm desperate to find the exception)
 
If we passed a law that said all Christian boys need to be named bob, said in the manner of Black Adder, we could make British names great again. :p
 
Love thess threads, just goes to show we have a lot of people on the forum that drink at..

most sad to see undermined? communities, parents sitting in a street talking to each other whilst the kids play, everyone knowing who there neighbours are on the whole street etc.
Things I remember from my childhood that got wiped out because life is too busy now, productivity is king

Business grind became more important than family life and with it most of our working class culture disappeared, countries are ran like a business to benefit the business owners, we basically live in a modern slavery where you must work as many hours as possible and have no time left for anything else.
our society is literally crap unless your in the top 40% and even then people live beyond their means and basically have the same crap grind with a few perks like more holidays, a bigger car and a better house.


Did working Sundays really make people lives better? maybe at first the extra days money seemed nice, but society declined as a whole because of things like that and basically our culture eroded away as people don't have time for the important things in life.


Queuing seems to be dying pretty fast, as does please and thank you.

I see the new culture is clearing your throat extremely loudly in public and spitting, or blowing your nose at gale force winds


@Zenduri omg gammon for having an opinion? were you live BOY??? I'm from Bulwell, we all gammons there right

Why should it be what you remember from your childhood? If this is about "preserving our culture" well why do we arbitrarily stop at your childhood?

Our culture goes back hundreds of years but we should just turn the clock back to when you were a kid and stop there?

Also love that "BOY" comment.. way to tell everyone you think you're a tough guy, without saying "hey look at me, I'm a tough guy".

The level of unhinged in this is quite impressive.
 
I do find the loss of 7000 pubs in 10 years quite depressing. Pubs have always been a huge part of social life in this country. Out of the 5 pubs I drunk in as a young man, just 1 remains. The situation on high streets is saddening too. Almost everything gone here and being replaced by immigrant run halal takeaways and Turkish barbers.
