Re: What is wrong with people?

The sad fact is, we’re a filthy nation, and have been throughout our history (from dumping the town’s rubbish and sewage in the streets and just outside the town’s borders back in medieval times, and probably before that too). One of the few things I’ll credit Thatcher’s government for was - for a brief period - getting some kind of control over the problem.

Ironically, everything else that happened from then onwards undermined those short-term gains, from the return of the “me first” mentality to locking out an entire generation from living in some kind of secure home, thereby giving them no incentive to feel pride (or shame) in their environment. Never mind everything else.
