Factors that contribute to bad behaviour of kids today are:
-Poverty
Poverty! Are you kiddin? No one starves in the country anymore. Education and NHS are free to all, social benefits are generous (which is one of the reasons why the UK is magnet for poorer migrants). What its really about is 'wanting more'. We live in a society were people believe it's their 'right' to have it all. Thus the level of debt so many people get themselves into.
And what's the deal with bashing the Daily Mail? I'd say hoody fights on Brighton Beach would be front page news for every English newspaper (with the exception of the Independent who rarely follow the pack on their front page). I'd say the Express and the Times would equally relish the story!
