Broken Britain: A Sign of The Times
It might have been the start of a brand-new decade but there was nothing fresh about the state of many revellers on the streets of Britain last night.
In yet another depressing portrayal of binge Britain, drunken party-goers grappled with police and scantily-dressed girls fell face down on the pavement.

As a new year is upon us, the same ghastly sights of a broken society are there for us all to see as we read our morning newspapers. Once again, we're reminded of the tragic decline of standards of decency in this once-great country, where nowadays booze, drugs and casual sex are all the 'norm' for a vasty proportion of society.
It is quite remarkable that only 65 years ago the people of this same country managed to win World War 2. But just look where we are now.... I could cry.

Must troll harder.
Why can't the Daily Mail just **** off.
The DM has just discovered that Geordies like a drink and don't feel the cold!!!!!
Otherwise that article could have been written verbatim during any major festival since the founding of the Roman Empire. Earlier in fact. There are Classical Greek vase paintings that look like those photographs of Newcastle.
I don't think it makes you cry, I think it's some sort of weird masochistic version of schadenfreude taking delight in how crap you think your world is.
I wonder if the Daily Mail will ever publish a positive story about the UK? They come across as being a self-hating bunch of curtain-twitching moaners.
...you do know that your beloved Australia banned drinking at the many vantage points overlooking Sydney Harbour Bridge this NYE due to previous years of extreme trouble?
Forget about Broken Britain, what about Aghast Australia?

To me that doesnt look bad at all, Picture 2 is so obviously posed for their photographer so one cant take it as the norm.
And I notice the main pic of the girl flat on her face, is the same girl used in Pic 3 in a different setting , call me a cynic but one wonders is that for real or is she an employee of the paper or just someone posing how they ask her to ?
As for Pic 7, whats so bad about a man tyring to lift a woman ?
And out of the hundreds of thousands of people in Central London last night only 18 were arrested for being drunk and disorderly, maybe thats why The Sun changed the story headline .
That would require getting off their backside and doing something, though. Armchair pontificating is always the easier option.
Vasty? btw
The three day week started on New Years Day 1974. I spent New Years Eve 1973, I'm a bit ashamed to admit, consuming my own bodyweight in Websters Pennine Bitter. I think The Daily Mail ran an article about Broken Mercia.
This generation's beyond repair... and who's to blame? The generation before them for making them that way. And the generation before them's parents obviously weren't very good at bringing up kids, so they're at fault. They should have learnt better.
Don't forget the generation before that who didn't bring up their kids very well. And less said about the generation before that the better.
And the previous 400 generations weren't any better. Britain has been going to the dogs ever since we learned to bang rocks together, we should never have come down from the trees.
You can try to make a case for "broken Britain" with things like shootings, stabbages, state authoritariansm and things like that, but people partying hard and maybe having a bad hangover?
I don't rollyeyes often but your thread is exceptional. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
