Originally posted by Kermit8 Well, we didn't have 3.25mill unemployed as we did in 1983, did we? Youngsters, especially in the industrial heartlands, in the 60's and 70's had apprenticeships, jobs and/or further education to look forward to. A lot of those towns and villages were laid to waste economically once Thatcher got in. Fast forward a few years from 1979 and then we have the Chav culture introducing itself to the U.K. Delightful. There were many many problems before Thatcher...for sure she applied economic medicine that harmed the lower classes definitely. It also saved the country from being another Spain and at a time we were the sick man of Europe. As for blaming Thatcher for cultural ills. Like I say you accuse me of romanticizing then later the same day I find you doing it yourself. Edited by Stirlingsays (30 May 2017 7.50pm) 'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith.

But we did have overmanning, strikes every week, ridiculous pay rises, laughable productivity, poor quality manufacturing, failing public services all resulting in our reputation of being the sick man of Europe. Thatcher saved us from all that and even then she was against privatisations. And you can't really believe that Chavs started with Thatcher. There have always been scumbags since I can remember.

Originally posted by elgrande Wow,another dig. FFS it's not the governments fault there s*** n loads of terrible parents out there. Kids having kids are a bigger problem...vicious circles. They have had no advice from their parents,so they don't know how to give advice. We can't say the kids are at fault because they witnessed domestic violence or suffered from neglect or there is an issue with alcohol or drugs. Maybe the kid is a primary carer for their parent. More prevalent than you'd think. Mentioning that budget cuts do nothing to alleviate or break the vicious circle you allude to (quite correctly) nor does a pish poor social services because what staff are left are massively overstretched is not point scoring. It's a fact that needs to be faced and dealt with by whoever is in Government. At the moment it's not far from breaking point.
