Thoughts on the state of British society?

[theacademic]

Due to the response from earlier research, I've just started phase 2 of a university research project looking at whether Britain is regressing to a less civil state with less social constraint and more casual aggression. The questionnaire is live at http://www.topfan.co.uk and as you’ll see, the questions are very current. One of them focuses on the current arguments surrounding the welfare system, for example. It should only take you a couple of minutes and thanks in advance.

Is this what people believe, or the actual facts. Do people urinate more in public? How the hell should I know?

In general, people or more Selfish, less responsible, less reliable and less honourable than they used to be. I have summised this from trying to organise a wedding. If i say i will call someone back, or see someone at 8, i will call them back, and more often than not, be at that place at about 7.50. The amount of people that have failed on there promise to return my call or not shown up for meetings has really gone to highlight that manners and common courtosy are failing us as a nation, and that someones word is not worth a fraction of what it used to be.

The country is as good / bad as its ever been. When we look back we get nostalgic and forget the crap that went on then too.

Thought a bit before posting this. Mike/Westcliff/Javea used to get criticism when he emigrated but society, human rights, morals, ambulance chasing are just a few issues that I haven't missed. We don't have redtops out here, or if we did I couldn't read them. HK too is a have and have not society but it is not morally bankrupt. Though I've been here enough times before now I'm bedded in the only eye opener is the anti mainlander sentiment but the Chinese coming down for a day's shopping really are rude and pig ignorant.i love the UK and I'm Southend, Essex and England forever but it looks different from the outside looking in.
