Changes for the worse that have happened in my lifetime

[Hicky]

The lack of an effective consequence for actions taken by someone.

 

[Globalti]

We need a good war. Bring back Bliar.

 

[Notafettler]

Brexit taking to long.

 

[Edwardoka]

Making computers more accessible, allowing people who aren't geeks to go online

Celebrity culture, it’s like a disease.

My God, I hate that too...especially some 'celebs' whose only 'talent' is getting on TV for nowt.
You do things right in life, you may get lucky with a good job & house. You try to murder someone & despite being in prison, you're world famous with people lining up to play you:
pointless celebrity

Everyone seems to be going mad on what looks to me to be a festering pile of dung.

We need a good war. Bring back Bliar.

You said "good war", not "any old half arsed war".

I intend to die aged 118, jumping out of a ladies bedroom window with my trousers gripped in my saggy gums. That'll make for a good shrine.

Edited to make the statement more realistic.

I'm not sure that moderators are eligible for the Post of the Day award, else I'd happy grant it for that

Rhodesia pretty much fed the entire continent south of the equator.

Zimbabwe can't feed a fraction of it's own population.

A few years after independence, at the time when Set-aside was big news over here - with farmers being paid to take land out of production, I visited Zimbabwe and was astonished to find the same thing happening there - farmers being paid to lower production and we observed piles of surplus mealie (white maize) rotting by the roadside.

That was before Mugabe's land grab and the ejection of white farmers.

I thought he meant he'd sat on his Dentures and leapt up so fast he'd fallen out of the window.

I think the very worst that's happened has been social meejia giving a voice to idiots.

Indeed, because of sanctions post-independence they were struggling to export as they did before, particularly as SA joined in and boycotted them.

Corbyn leading the Labour party.....if I was a socialist.

 

[Andy in Germany]

Blair's spiteful open borders/mass immigration policy

That was the time we tried to get Beautiful Wife a visa to live in the UK with me.

Trust me, borders were never particularly open, which is why we are now in Germany.
