Funny how they have National Service in Greece and have very little of
the social problems that the UK have.

I visit Greece quite often and, having just come back from Crete where
there is virtually NO crime, they seem to be doing something right,
whereas the United Kingdom seems to be spiraling into a disfunctional
society with little respect for law and order.

That's because the government, being criminals themselves, seek to
encourage criminality in the hope hat they can get away with it. For
God's sake someone convince me I am wrong.


Think of the panic buying of water in Gloucestershire, people taking
more than their quota of water and kids damaging the water bowsers,
instead of everyone mucking in and helping each other.

The lead comes from our leaders.

National Service, led by qualified Armed Forces Personnel, would
install discipline in the youth of this country. Whilst they may be
equipped with the knowledge to carry what you say above, I believe the
overall experience of controlled discipline would actually steer them
in the right direction for the rest of their lives; just as it does in
Greece.


Probably. But then, discipline would be bad for the governemnt.
After all, they don't understand it, and if enough people did, we
might rebel and overthrow them.

Funny how people want to blame governments for everything but don't vote,
don't want a nanny stae, don't want to pay tax, don't want to put anything
in to public service themselves..........
I agree with your observations however, about our society. I believe it is
down to parents - values have to be installed at an early age. The media
doesn't help. I overheard two boys of only about 7 quoting that "Phil (from
Eastenders) sorted out that bitch for pinching her boy (by beating her up
and pushing her off a building)" I believe such programmes set the tone
not reflect it, as claimed.
