Chavs in Adbuster

Just read this brilliant arcticle in this months (may/june) issue of Adbusters. Basically explaining how the youth and underclasses have come about. That the british nation have infact the most depressed youth in the world, next to the Americans which come second from bottom all down to Thatchers work on class division of social groups during her short reign of power.

The working class use to take pride in being the workhorse of the nation, the biceps to the british colonisation, empire and the industrial revolution, and now, our working class slump over couches watching sky tv, drinking alcohol, driving fast cars wearing knock off designer brands. That they don't really suffer from poverty, thanks to labour whom have unsuccessfully eradicated poverty. But the poverty that they do suffer from comes from emotional deprivation of the world. Whats more freightening was the section on the new enemy, the chav/ asian youth terrorist. Blaming the fact that their parent's don't allow them to social intergrate with the western way, that they become even more marginalised whilst wearing the 7/7 bombings pinned on their backs. When I mean the western way, I mean drink, sex and mindless violence. This segregation gives them no hope, something like 15% of children don't finish education with qualifications, being 31% of that proportion are of pakistani or bangladesh minorities. These kids really have nothing to turn to, and we ask ourselves why they strap bombs to their backs? This article ends on the note that with all this CCTV monitoring, control of the older and wiser generation may eventually have a paradoxical impact, and the generation of Battle Royale may actually commence. Worrying. Very Worrying.
