Far be it from me to ever be a liberal, and I make a point of being largely unreconstructed and out of step with the modern World but I largely agree with Kev here.
I recently made a return visit to The Great War battlefields of The Somme and was amazed, moved and impressed by the number of school parties that had/or were visiting the area. Many a wreath had been laid too, usually at the site of a loss of someone relevant to the school or area where the school is situated.
I’ve also had to visit a number of local schools for work recently and have been impressed by the displays of work that some of them have on display. At not a particularly well renowned school in Luton, the pupils have a display about a trip they made to Ypres and I was deeply moved while reading it.
I also see a number of very competent young folk coming through at Old Warden too.
So, our ‘youf’ ain’t all bad.
OK, so these idiots perhaps need a lesson–who knows, in twenty years they might be on a forum like this as pillars of respectability. I’m certainly not proud of some of the things I did as a youngster. Perhaps though, you’ve all lead blameless lives–lucky b*sta*rds that you must be.

PS Two things, why don’t you volunteer to go and clean it. That way right triumphs over the other, and second, I’ve spent a bit of my weekend watching team GB winning a bit in China–again they ain’t geriatrics, are they?
