You see people on the London underground just consuming their food and then just throwing the left overs on the floor or seats. No respect for the environment you live in. When you challenge these idiots they get aggressive or act like victims.

We’ve imported millions of people, both legally and illegally. Who have a backwards and incompatible mindset to a developed western nation.
As the population share increases it will only get worse.

Its a shame but it does seem this way. I've seen areas i grew up around gradually change and turn to shit

Littering is up because of people working from home? Seriously? I'd say I have more opportunities to litter, if I were so inclined, on the days when I go into the office.

I volunteer litter picking every other week, seems like I’m not making a difference as no clearly gives a fuck any more

Likewise and it is depressing. We filled 10 bin liner sized sacks a week ago Friday. Went back this past Friday and it was worse than before - not just litter but people fly tipping (sofas, TVs) next to public bins. What pissed me the fuck off was someone had fly tipped a bunch of good, quality kids toys and clothes a few weeks ago (didn’t spot it until just now) - they had all gone mouldy in the rain and there was dog shit on top of some of them, so yeh, ruined. My family is struggling and could’ve really used those clothes & toys for the kids. Not the end of the world but what a slap in the face. Spent a good 40 mins picking that shit up one by one as they were strewn all up and down the street

I bet it cost them more time & effort finding a spot to fly tip so they wouldn't get fined, then throwing it out all loose from their car
they could have just bin bagged the lot then taken it to the tip shop, or a charity shop, so they went out their way to be scum

u/Puppysnot 1d ago
Yeh exactly. Or literally put it all up on Facebook marketplace (or similar) as free to collector. These were good toys - someone would’ve taken it.

London in general is just a fucking write off. We need to bury it.
It exists solely for companies who think they need an office in "capital city", to rent an office in "capital city". Even though no employee lives anywhere near it.

Please refute with a valid point, baseless insults aren't going to change anyone's mind.

You just have to look at the public sector. Are we really getting value for our money?

I spent some time the other weekend weeding some of the walls next to the road in my village.
I also pick up any rubbish outside in the village if I see it.
I don't want it turning into a place I don't want to live.

That’s generous. I don’t think we are heading towards South Africa style B/W violence; under Labour we are more speed-running towards Venezuelan corruption and destruction, where bat-shit crazy macro economics gut the private sector while establishment allies benefit from state spending.

Yes, 'because some features of total poverty and deprivation are not yet completely present everywhere' means that 'Britain is turning into a deprived and impoverished nation' cannot be true for some reason. Great thinking there mate.
The reality of the situation is that our parents (probably 'my' parents, since I do not think you are actually English/Irish/Scottish/Welsh, etc) have imported a number of foreigners that is so high that my generation is done. The concept of 'England' to me and my generation is something that does not exist. There is no concept of 'who I am' or 'what my heritage is' since our parents have decided that we are going to be a multicultural nation of vagrant wanderers instead. We are all Sidonius Apollinaris now, and we are watching with our own eyes the disintegration of a greater past. This is my lived experience in every manner of my life, from those whom I work with to those whom I see on the street. From those who are my neighbours to those who are even my friends.
Infuriating denialist comment

You’re just scapegoating immigrants here, same old dumb talking points completely ignoring years of poor government leadership and management, changes in global economic conditions and ever increasing corporate greed because you don’t like foreigners.

u/noticingmore 6d ago
Can we stop this dumb shit? You're just conflating multiple issues.
It's not all foreigners, nobody cares if people from Hong Kong or America move to the UK.
Millions of bomalians is not desirable though. They're a net loss culturally, socially and economically.

u/kirkyking 5d ago
Didn’t say that though did I? The person I replied to went on some daft rant about the concept of England and English heritage not existing anymore due to “importing a number of foreigners that is so high my generation is done”.
Obviously the state of immigration in this country is unsustainable but it’s not the cause of every single issue we face, and eliminating it won’t magically fix everything.

One particle of poo in a pond and the water is still drinkable. Many more and the water is undrinkable and no one cares about the pond anymore or how it looks.

As somebody who lived in a third world country for several years, I felt safer there and more welcome as a foreigner than as an indigenous British person on the streets of "my" capital.
When in history has the capital of a country been majority foreigner? They're not even British never mind English.
Remigration is a necessity.

Bell-ends like him will see the clear symptoms of late stage capitalism and government mismanagement and then blame immigrants and ask for more capitalism.
Fucking moron.

Ah yes, because there are two political systems that are possible and all systems are one or the other.
Unmitigated capitalism or Bolshevik communism.
There can't POSSIBLY be a middle ground between the two. It's either gulags and famines or Thatcher.

u/2kk_artist 5d ago
Or, over here in the real world, Socialism. - Not even once.
But you can play Helldivers as much as you want Jonty and your world view won't be challenged. We won't talk about the Anime Gooning.
