It's your job to make me better' "Bread and water" would obviously do him a lot of good ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've thought about this a litte, and I reckon there's been a large upturn recently in what people think they can get away with saying in public, it's like they've got some courage and confidence from somewhere to be as nasty as possible...

I believe that it’s one symptom of the ‘Entitlement Society’ that seems to be prevalent nowadays. “its my right to do what I want, after all it’s a free society.” “No-one is going to tell me what to do” and so on... Social media allows and even encourages everyone to have an opinion on everything. It also offers the perpetrators of abusive and vile attacks on individuals a chance to express themselves anonymously without any fear of recrimination. Hopefully the ‘Online Safety Bill’ will soon become law and start to address this specific issue. The freedom to be who are has never been greater and equal opportunities should be part of a forward looking society. However there are, and always will be, those who do not respect others and go beyond what is acceptable. Government must take the lead in dealing with this.
