I saw that video, and many more like it, it's a goddamn disgrace that people in our country are like this. Yobbos!!

I hope you're not thinking I deny this? I don't deny it, I just see it as one of many factors ruining the country. It's true that lots of povert people, and people that are "bored" blame the Government for their problems, and justly so, but it's not the only thing. Discipline and respect are a huge factor in this. When I was a kid, even though that was only 10-15 years ago, the UK was nothing like it is today, there was respect for authority and adults.

I look forward to your further elaboration, good luck on your test!!
