This made my cry with shame for my country:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-144…
My grandparents fought in WW2 so we could remain a free society, and this is how the kids of today repay that.
Poor guy just arrived here 1 month ago on a scholarship, and some stupid thugs beat him up and steal his stuff. The riots have highlighted this case, but it happens all the time, all across the country. Least we forget this nightmare: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/engla…
In this country schools are free, hospitals are free, you get money if you can't work, children have rights - it's all there for them, it just needs them to make some effort and want to work towards a meaningful and productive life - there's no excuses. And worse still for those living in London - It's the capital city of England, it's got everything!!! And it's not just a rich mans playground - there's tonnes of things to do that are free: museums, galleries, etc...
Right... I've had enough of reading the news about it, hearing how politicians are going to do this and that, etc... I'm getting back to my life as a hard working designer.
