Hmmm... imagine 1,000's of years ago, if the early humans had decided to drug themselves into oblivion or top themselves if someone else didn't look after them to their liking. We have come a long way, haven't we!! Maybe we could put them all into a container and ship them to Iraq or somewhere nice and hot.
Fare paid ,of course. Or Atlanta GA USA. Your in a much better part of the world now, bet you are glad you moved, it's becoming a joke around here  Atlanta Crime figures 2010 Aggravated Assault:2507 Drug Arrest: 3788 Robbery:2132 Residential Burglary:6392 Larceny: 8240 Auto Theft: 4961 Murder:93 Rape:89 I'll stick with Birkenhead a bit longer I think

It was a bit tongue in cheek  But I'm sure you get my meaning  Population of Atlanta 2011, 420,003. Population of Cheshire 2011, 673,781. I'll stick with Cheshire a bit longer

Mine was a comment on the human condition in general, not location-specific. I just find it pathetic how many peple seem to think they have a right to expect other people to take care of them, when frankly they shold be taking care of their own sorry asses. Wherever they live, be it Atlanta GA, Wirral, or anywhere else. How exactly do they think those other people got to be in a position to be able to help them? By holding their hands out too???

Errrr hate to be an old pedantic Pete but you really need to look at the per capita and per district rates I guess Atlanta has about 5 times the amount of people living there...........

I don't think that's quite true nidgynoo. We all know that when people hit bad times,they need assistance in many ways, and I don't think many would deny them. Unfortunatley, there are also many who see the government hand outs as their permanent subsidy in life and use them in all the wrong ways and don't appear to be on the same planet. I don't believe they will ever change and they are the ones who give a bad name to genuine claimants. Which right minded person would truly wish to be on the 'dole' if they didn't have to? Maybe there should be two different catagories.......'the unemployed' and as they have in other parts of Europe...'the Beggers'. If the Beggers were given that classification, just maybe, they would do something about it. There's a lot in a name.

They were scanning those entering the job centre for weapons and such like. There were 3 officers. More like ten officers and at least four cars when I drove past 3 Police officers and 2 police cars for over an hour around 12pm onwards when I was parked in car right outside, all they were doing then was scanning people.

So you have said - twice. Perhaps if you look at the time of my first post, given that I was driving past the job centre into Birkenhead and then drove home before posting, that the incident which occured had been resolved before you arrived at 12pm, or do you think I am making it up?
