I’ll move on from writing about ugly British people on thankstfl.blogspot.com to writing about stupid British people here on Suspicious Minds. I almost lost hope in humanity on the train to work today, not because the woman opposite me was ugly (although she was) but because of what she was reading – The Daily Mail….. Front Page: “The great light bulb revolt Robbed of the right to buy traditional light bulbs, millions are clearing shelves of the last supplies. Millions of Britons are finally waking up to the fact that their beloved light bulb will disappear for good after 120 years.” Really? Rushing to buy light bulbs?? Millions of them? I have a few objections to this front page, apart from being absolute nonsense, how is this news? There are wars all over the globe, a financial crash and loads of interesting events around the world and they put an EU directive about light bulbs on the front page? Was anyone thinking? And the dramatic tone! Please who is feeling robbed of their beloved 100w light bulb? It’s time the UK starts realising they are not God’s gift to civilisation and that you are rather far behind culturally, socially and in the public debate. And I would like to blame the media for that. There is no intelligent debate or debate what so ever in the UK press about society. This is an essential ingredient in civic society and it is non existent. I would however like to praise the charity advertising around London (and possibly around the country) for trouble teens and anti -social behaviour. I thought they were called KidsCo but a quick look on Google tells me I’m wrong. I love their ads! They are brilliant and they are a smack in the face of the government and police over ASBOs. Of course a teen with an abusive family and involved in crime wont care about an ASBO. If you want to tackle youth crime you need to tackle the problems creating them. Family structure, schools and support systems must be excellent. I personally believe one should not be allowed to procreate without a university degree. Which is why it’s essential education of all levels be free. Schools in this country must get so much better. Who gives a shit about the level of education when none of the kids are listening? The fact that you educate teachers in a year shows how little you know about pedagogic and how children learn. A bit off topic but hey it’s a big problem. Will try to find that charity now and get involved. Always wanted to be a youth counsellor! There are animal rights activists shouting outside my office think I will go and through some fur at them.
