Communities Secretary Hazel Blears and Home Secretary Jacqui Smith have dismissed claims of "broken Britain" after meeting a group of 13 and 14-year-old girls in an area plagued by gang violence.
Do high levels of violent crime in the UK mean that our society is 'broken', or do you believe that British communities are as strong as ever? Share your thoughts.
It shows the far reaching effects of the Government when they get Virgin to shut off a board. For a long time i have been involved in the "Britain Broken Claims Denied" by Ministers B&S, and went so far as to set up a petition at No: 10 (which was rejected) and four days later the board was closed.
Either answer why the board was closed (you have not replied to me yet) when it was at the top of the discussion boards, or explain why a board over six months old is still showing without any new posts?
Come clean Virgin, are you a puppet being controlled by Government, or is free speach still free?
Are we in a broken society, do we live in a broken society, i cannot answer that as many people have different meanings as to what broken means. What i can say is that this Government is so out of touch with reality it is unbelievable. For years, those of us who have worked have known about the "child benefit and working tax credit" scam carried out by our "European" family, but Government has just clocked on!!!! And believe it or not, they are now going to hold an enquiry, closed to the public and the findings not to be released incase it causes ill feeling, to work out how to stop this.
Easy, pull out of the EU.
Would there be ill feeling against those stealing. Too true there would.
Everything in this country is corrupt from politician to the banks downwards. How can it be right to be rewarded in your job when you have failed. No wonder thing have deteriorated in this society - when there is no respect, no honour, no pride, and so much cheating and lying. We need someone to look up to and respect - that someone is long overdue.
A country with a way of life that was the envy of the world. Now in tatters. Overcrowded, overspent, overlegislated, a population spied upon constantly, our freedoms eroded, Olympics that wil ruin the country financially, costly wars that will ruin the country financially, hospitals closing, post offices closing, politicians with their noses in the trough both here and in Europe. Mps fired twice ( punishment elevation to the house of lords).
Yes and you can blame this bloody goverment and all you who put them in again. Why do you think we had 18 years of the tories...its because labour last time made such a mess of this country, and they have done it again, YOUR FAULT.
The government is broken, and they, in turn have contributed to the breakdown of society. It`s because they hate freedom, they hate the idea of individuals doing what they like with their lives. They have to control everything, it`s in the nature of communists to do that. We are the most spied upon nation on earth. Not even the old Stasi had the powers that the british kremlin has. All labour supporters should hang their heads in shame.
