“Broken Britain” is a term that the Sun newspaper in the UK is using the describe the supposed lawlessness of the youth there. If you read the tabloids it’s as if Britain has decided to skip going down the pub for some binge drinking and gone straight into the fighting part of the night (or day). With knives. Or that’s how they’d like us believe. This phrase was used in the headline “Broken Britain at its worst” and the article reads:
LAWLESS thugs take turns to boot an unconscious man in the head - while a teenage GIRL causally rifles his pockets. The five feral thugs are seen battering the defenceless victim to the floor in the street in this sickening CCTV footage, before kicking his head like a football.
Time to chip the populace and/or add GPS bracelets to all people under the age of 21 for their own protection.
A curfew is a good idea too.

Also, finger-printing of everyone, mandatory DNA samples for everyone.
CCTV cams need to be Taser-enabled.
Arm the police. Ban hoods.
The innocent have nothing to fear.
Failing that, perhaps the authorities we are all supposed to look up to, obey and respect should stop setting such dreadful examples to the youth.
Iraq and Afghanistan scream “might is right” loud and clear to me.

The Sun says… We can do better than that, surely.

Lucky we have the sun to save us, oh no wait they’ve been part of the problem for years. The media does not report what’s happening, it shapes what will happen and the Sun is one of the reasons why England is in the state that its in.
