Societal collapse?

It was back on around 16:15 in Jersey...
 
Haiti structure on the verge of collapse forcing the president to resign.
In all fairness Haiti never has recovered from the purge and sheer insane dictatorship by Francois Duvalier (papa doc)
 
Societal collapse is also going on in the UK...

Schools in England send police to homes of absent pupils with threats to jail their parents

‘Heavy-handed’ crackdown ignores underlying reasons for failure to attend classes, say critics
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

Apparently around 150 000 school kids in England were severely absent in 22-23. I have always said the same. Schooling in England is societal discipline and if about 40% must fail in order to maintain standards in academic subjects at the age of 16 then no wonder after Covid they just walked away. Inevitable result of tory politics.

Same mate I spend an awful lot of time worrying about this for my children. God knows what the world's going to end like towards the end of this century. Just hope the last 80 odd years of relative goods times haven't been a blip.

As someone who has a daughter in her early 30's, I would say there is hope because she can cope with modern society better than I can. I have spent most of my life worrying about what the future would be like, by the time she was 30. The good news is the young cope with the modern world, better than their parents do.

Someone said to me the other day that kids learn how to survive in their own jungle, as we did, and as our parents did.

That said, the impact of climate change etc on my kids scares the bejesus out of me. Things like this make me think we're doomed

The problem is the only way it will change is if people decide to invest ethically but that won't happen because the returns arent as good, and ethical funds typically have higher management charges too.

The video is circulating on Twitter.

Absolutely mental, of course this stuff goes on, but just how blatant she is, and how clearly the guys in the cell don't give a fuck.

At a previous employer we did a job in HMP Whatton and one of our regular OSGs, the people that chaperone you in and out of the prison, had something close to a fantasy of being taken hostage in a prison riot. As if that isn't weird enough on its own, HMP Whatton is a sex offenders prison too so who knows how she was imagining that hostage situation playing out.

Do get some weird stories out prisons though, another we worked in had a guard arrested for smuggling things into the prison but later turned out he was being coerced into doing so by people inside who knew his family and made to threats against them.
 
It's PROPER kicking off in Leeds, riots, fires all sorts. Not much on the news but loads of footage on twitter
