THERE is obviously a great dissatisfaction and concern at the way our Country is being run. Society is riddled with bad decisions. Although, obviously, we appear to be controlled by a 'higher being' but we are being controlled, to an extent, as a dictator would of a country. What you see now in Society is what previous governments have made us.

It frightens me, with hindsight, how everything had changed. The majority of us are law abiding, honest to goodness, and abide by the laws of the land. Our children are our future, and over many years we have brought up our children to respect others, encouraged marriage, family closeness - all sounds terribly archaic but it worked. In the past our schooling was disciplined, little bullying, our teachers were to be reckoned with and most of us knew where our children were in the evenings, but Society has eroded. There were apprentices for the child who appeared to be skilled with their hands and others who were academic. We were known as a nation of shopkeepers, but it worked. Everything was to hand because society created this.

Where does one start with society now? Society is fragmented. Government should look at their decisions - past and present. Where did they go wrong?
