Thanks to Thomas. “Do children have it tougher than ever?”
When I were a lad we used to play chess, football and other healthy fun games for a teenager. Nowadays it seems kids just want to get blind drunk and murder the nearest passer-by. What went wrong?

You just have to accept that you’re getting old, Brian. Chess is out. Pissed-up murdering is in.
I found this in the same thread.
How can this be independent – its a report carried out by an organisation whose sole purpose is to improve children’s wellbeing. It would have been a little surprising if it had said ‘things are great!’. I wonder how many people to give them money would rather have their donations spent on kids really in trouble than this pointless gesture.

It’s all about “balance”. Sure, these jokers are fanatically trying to improve children’s wellbeing but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t pay attention to them. Just like it’s ok to broadcast “Children in Need” but only if we don’t take sides.

I was once attacked with a chess piece. I lost that fight. To add insult to injury, I can’t get the grammar right for a joke about (a) violent pawn.
But I bet you’ll be on the ‘rook’ out for it happening next time…
I’ll get my coat.

That knight be for the best…
For balance, they should get an organisation dedicated to reducing the wellbeing of children to produce a report.
Don’t tell me that the politically corrent ZaNUlab government have quashed all such organisations? What happened to the Royal Society for Teenage Slavery, eh?
Rich Wintie, Bournemouth:
You see it all too often, Social Services rounding up the children of hard-working middle-class parents, then forcing them to wear a little yellow Tory logo on their clothes before sending them east. Wake up before it’s too late and there’s a Master Race of Lefties run by a ZaNuLab reich.
Children in Need? More like Children in Need of the latest Playstation game.
Back in my day we had to save up months of pocket money to buy a copy of the beano. Now they just hand out pokemon iPods to stop feral youths slaughtering good honest white folk.
You couldn’t make it up.
RE: That knight be for the best…
You’ve got to be jo-king!
“Children these days need more protection from left wing ’social workers’ (rightly labelled the ‘SS’) than from parents.”
Uhm…surely Social Workers would be shortened to ‘SW’?…
Plus, I don’t think you could really label the Nazi’s as ‘left wing’ (even if they were the National Socialist party).
Although, I suppose we have to let the likes of Rich Wintie ignore little things such as facts so that they can simplify their arguments enough so that they’re able to articulate something. Social Workers! = EVIL!!! = Nazis!
blah blah baa blah blahdy chess pun blah
Mate, these chess puns are pretty stale.
Yeah, I’m (chess) board of them already!
The problem with kids these days is that they don’t understand that the most important thing in the world is their parents getting them into an Ofsted approved school so that they can go on to be miserable in their working lives as accountants and advertising executives.
I blame the government.
Eeeeee…. Brain was that little boy in the Lowry painting, happily running down the street with a hoop and stick, skillfully steering round the old man dying in the gutter of cholera. It was a better, more innocent time then.
People should be banned from having miserable children. Banning is the answer to everything.
Sorry to bring the tacky commercialism that is SkyNews.com into this but on the subject of kids, is it possible that if these kids are home schooled – we can count it as child abuse ??!??!
(p.s. New competition people – play Spot The Word Used/Spelt Correctly!).

“r.i.p little angle…”
How little, I wonder? 15 degrees is quite a small angle.
Yes but three and nine sixteenth degrees is a lot smaller.
Or shoukd that be sixteenths?
We’re wasting precious minutes guessing what size angle she’s talking about, there are children to save!
‘My my, what an ‘acute’ child you’ve got there.’
I’ll get my coat.
And maybe even a proper username.
I’m wondering, is that an alternative spelling of ‘Charlotte’ that I’ve never seen before, or is she actually so illiterate she can’t spell her own name?
“We’re wasting precious minutes…”
You’re right, it’s turning into quite a protractor-ed discussion.
Ahem.
For god’s sake, someone turn the blah filter back on!
blah blah blah blah The blah filter, on reflection, maybe wasn’t all that bad after all blah blah
Readers’ Top Tip:
You can easily blah filter yourselves – simply copy and paste from a previous thread.
jesus wept!

I wish I could show you this picture of an “Adventure Playground” (broken bricks, and left behind wood) I have in a magazine rescued from a BBC Archivist, with the joyful image of 8 lads setting fire to something amidst what looks like a bomb site.
Curiously dated 1961, but I only thought antisocial behaviour started when Blair got in power?
I expect it was a local fire, not one of those banana boat fires, and the kids were just playing chess with it.
I must be very late to this because I’ve not been back on here since they blahed the comments. Are we allowed to actually reply to stories now?
