Once upon a time the Scots were regarded as the nation half drunk in the morning and still drunk next morning. The Irish were not far behind.

Sure, the Scots and Irish still get out of hand now and then but I've never seen one piss on a War Memorial (Daily Mail). This disgusting behaviour is only part of a party. Young English lads and lasses can't hold their drink. They get smashed for fun and ruin their country's reputation by vomitting against walls, collapsing off pavements and seeking fights with any other skew-eyed drunk. They drink, they curse, they argue,they piss and they vomit.

The social and commercial reasons are obvious: Booze is too cheap and many youngsters have no other outlet for excitement on a Friday night. Many, unfortunately don't have much to go home to and others seek thrills, girls (Most of them stupid drunk before they reach the shag they came out for anyway), and ways of releasing pressure and stress. England is not a nation of drunks but it is becoming a nation of the wayward young: yobs, thugs and drunks out of control; girls pregnant at 17 and no answers from government on how to control this. Let's not even go into crime committed by youngsters as young as 13.

I'm not a puritan nor am I English but if no strong government is elected within the next year, the youngsters will destroy further a bad reputation built up by soccer hooligans and the like.

I could write a book ,I suppose, but comments would be more useful. If I find a guy pissing on a sacred War Memorial, I'll knock his teeth out. My father fought for a free Britain, not a nation of yobs.
