King Rat Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 There seems to be a lot of regeneration happening in so called deprived areas, which is fine if only the improvements were not continuously vandalized. The other thing I don't get is that these anti social specimens are obviously brain dead but yet the Police don't seem to be able to catch them? Some blame it on poor education, but is it their own fault if people want to educate themselves,? But then again, I suppose how do you make 10 Watt light bulb shine at 100? Why waste millions of pounds if these same anti social families are just going to vandalize everything? Why not if possible try & change the anti social behavior of these families before wasting millions on housing, parks, community centres etc.... What do you think?

Sweetcheeks Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 I worked on the Manor estate during the demolition of the old properties and the building of new houses, a time that hopefully gave people somewhere decent to live. One of the academic newcomers who learned all her skills from a text book in University suggested "Give people a decent home and they will respect it". However, some of the more cynical of us who had learned our skills, such as they were, from the University of Reality, realised that bad families who had made life a living hell on the estate, would continue to do so, new house or not. I believe we all felt proud when the new houses were let, but within 6 months the complaints of vandalism and harassment began to arise. When the second phase was built, the problem was exacerbated and the new vacant properties were stripped and vandalised. By the time Vikinglea had been erected, I believe everyone accepted that we were fighting a losing cause, the minority were ruining life for the majority. I`m afraid years of p****ng in the wind has made me a cynical old sod, but I firmly believe the old saying "rubbish in, rubbish out". They are a minority but what a headache for everybody, the only answer to this problem is unprintable and illegal, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartfarst Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 The only way to sort out the sink estates is the euthenise the worst families. Men, women and children - get them out of society permanently and stop them breeding future generations of criminal underclass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It drives me mad - and there are plenty of posters on this forum that wave the banner of political correctness as though the very future of the world depends on it. Muppets.

Tony Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Of course it's not a waste of time and money as a concept. BUT! Unless the 'social problems' associated with a number of individuals and families isn't sorted as a part of that process then the investment impact will be negated. Frankly some people just don't deserve to live with decent humans. I'll leave it to some of our more vocal contributers to make radical suggestions, but having seen and been affected by some of the genuine low-lifes that inhabit our society I cannot but help thinking that the rest of us would all be better off without them. Natural selection once took care of our dregs. These days the welfare state seems to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony, if I may be so bold as to infer that I'm one of those more vocal contributors, I must say that I can't better what you said here. There will be people who don't like it, but it's a case of 'truth hurts'. Now, as to how we should go about curing the problem . . . . . .I'll wait until some of my favorite liberals are online before I comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOIRBOY Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Why should the good and genuine people who live in poor housing etc be deprived of new homes just because of some idiots? We need to train the few inadequate parents how to bring up children to behave in an acceptable manner or even dare I say it sterilise them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
