I don't think you were alone in making such a prediction...
I doubt future generations will be saying anything different than the current generations say, which is generally a bunch of moans and groans, completely pointless when virtually no kind of action is taken by anyone at any point to do anything about anything, as like virtually everything else in this country, people have become far to, lets say, complacent, blasé, nonchalent, detached, indifferent, lazy, cowardly, indecisive, backwards thinking, fame crazed, etc, etc, etc, to actually do anything about things that should be important.
I used to care what future generations would think, frankly, now i'm really at the point where I don't give a crap what happens to anybody outside of my own family unit, because time and time again, it is constantly shown that almost nobody else gives a crap about anything other than their selves, so in a completely selfish train of thought, why the fek should I. Hell 2 generations time is only about 5 years away at the current rate of breeding, all of which is sponging from the system and making a good living at doing absolutely jack shit except being baby factories. Where as I can't get a single penny of assistance or any other form of help with anything at all, simply because my household income is £300 above the pverty line, because I speak English, because I don't have a handful of bastard children, because the colour of my skin is white and because I am not bound by a religion. Sod it, why the fek should I care what future generations think about anything, I can't afford kids and have too much common sense to breed for the sake of it when I know can't consiously afford them.
You say last 11 years, which clearly indicates that you are pointing fingers at Labour for all the current financial problems this country has... How about point the finger at the millions of people going round getting themselves in uncontrolable debt, conning the system from every angle to get credit card after credit card and then simply declaring themselves bankrupt and leaving the government to sort it out. The governments of the whole world have to share the blame and not just now, going back many many years. Putting people to the point where nobody gives a shit about taking care of themselves, of their own finances, of their own well being, of being able to put food on their table is down to both the people and governments. People have things to easy and as has been said have become far to lazy and complacent about everything. Personally, I don't care which government is in power, the are all as bad as each other, none of them have the balls to make the unpopular decisions needed to put this country in any kind of stable position, simply because they know full well, to sort this country out would mean taking decisions that would get them voted out of government at the earliest possible opportunity, something which is obviously worksa against every instinct of every single weazley politican out there.
So, don't go asking me what I think people would, should or could think in the future... You tell me with all your debating experience and decades of life skills to call up on, what do YOU think needs to be done right now to actually correct the situation that is a financially failing country and how the rot can be stopped from effecting future generations????? Because right now, looking at the scum wandering the streets from my frontroom window, i'd say there is jack shit that can or will be done in time to effect the next 10 generations, because nobody gives a crap about anything any more.
