[News] What is wrong with this country

[POSKETT AT THE VALLEY]

Knock a bloke off his bike. Bury him and just get 12 years.

Kick and slap a horse and it’s deemed ok?

There’s something very wrong here.

Stay at a hotel, strip the room bare and take off with…

Both seem harsh crimes to commit to me pal. But yeh very light sentences without knowing the details. It’s not this country, it’s the world and human race. But there is also so many positive nice things to concentrate on too All the best.

Posh people get off animal cruelty crime shocker. Her victimhood interview afterwards was vomit-inducing.

Whilst we have some of the highest levels of incarnation in Europe, the USA shows it clearly isn't a solution to crime. Wealth distribution certainly is. As for toff judge likes horse slapping being upsetting, these fuckers get up to far more anti-social activity we should be upset by.

Horse says No!

Much is wrong with this country. Many other countries too. The world is in a bit of a state

Totally agree. No control of its borders. Irreversible climate change, uncontrollable overpopulation. The only positives are the Albion and emigration.

Yep it certainly isn't just here that's in a bit of a mess - everywhere mostly one way or another

Never been bothered about borders, but agree with the rest.

Do we need more predators, or is this where climate change comes in I wonder?

Come on, we have issues like everywhere, but christ it's not bad here compared to many, many countries around the world (I include western countries in some aspects too - for example was listening to a Spanish woman who lives here on the radio the other day saying she loves how much further ahead we are in terms of gender equality etc here compared to Spain - the topic was obviously the spanish world cup controversy)

There's some whiney buggers on this forum.

No wonder so many posters appear to suffer from depression.

Fair enough, we're not as shit as developing countries then. Makes me proud to be British.

Regards the kicking and slapping the horse - its the country set who were involved and they also run the judiciary .. The group have been involved with fox hunting with dogs which is also against the law but again they never get punished even when its been caught on video.

God knows how it got that high.

Absolutely, the countryside vandals get away with whatever they want to do.

So fix the wealth distribution and crime will cease? Really? Do you have any supporting evidence?

The examples of crimes described on this thread are:

1. A drink driver killed a cyclist, buried the body and was only caught because he confessed to his girlfriend. How would a redistribution of wealth have prevented that crime? Did the drunk driver have too much or too little wealth?
2. A horse-rider slapped a horse. How would a redistribution of wealth have prevented that crime? By preventing the horse owner from owning the horse? What if she then slapped her dog?
3. A couple staying at a hotel, stripped the room bare. How would a redistribution of wealth have prevented that crime? By redistributing all the contents of their hotel bedroom to the couple, so they didn't feel the need to do such a thing until the next time they stayed in a hotel?

Your argument simply doesn't stand up to any kind of analysis.

However, if you had said, we are undergoing an - entitlement - epidemic, then I would have agreed with you. People feel they are entitled to do all kinds of things.
This transcends all classes, and all income groups.

Your sense of injustice (translated it means, other people have too much money, and you have too little) is yet another manifestation of that entitlement.

Just seen on the BBC 10pm news!! Hardly trivial if made that.

So what are your rules for your thread?
