Sick of non english news

[CorkerSWFC 10]

Ive turned the news off my tele its more interested in whats going on around the world than whats going on in our own country.

I can't see how iraq gets more coverage than the shocking state of affairs in london with the knife crimes.

[melthebell 863]

has there been any knife crime today??

you want something bad to happen in this country?

foot and mouth and a helicopter crash not bad enough for you??

??????

So you want to be like the Americans, who get practically nothing on their own TVs but American news? Most of them would have trouble in locating where the UK even is, let alone knowing anything about it--so much for the "special relationship".

 

Like it or not, we are in a global community and what happens elsewhere impinges on us, just as what happens here impinges on them.

 

We don't need parochialism in modern times

Im not just on about today have you seen the stats in the captiol for the amount of young people getting fatilly attacked in the last 2 years.

I think it needs to be addressed BEFORE IT GETS OUT OF HAND.

Where does all the money go what we give away every year for other places, where was the pot for us when we got flooded.

Thats why i think England should have a more selfish attitude.

[melthebell 863]

aaaaah so its not about the news?

[Jeebus 10]

how many people have been killed in knife/gun crimes in London in the past year??

how many people have been killed in Iraq in the past two years in a war that was of our own making??

more selfish? we are one of the richest countries in the world, why should we not help those less fortunate than ourselves?

despite what some may think, we have got it good in this country.

Perhaps I'll take your advice, since you don't seem capable of giving a sensible reply to my observations.
