Why is it anyone under 40 in this country struggles with this concept. Were they brought up differently. The younger generation, on the whole, have no respect or consideration for others and it shows in public

It's a shame pandora but it seems to be a fact of life these days.

Having been "brought up differently" seems to be a factor.

Not all, but a lot of young people working in shops, restaurants, bars, etc barely acknowledge a customer with a smile or a hello.

Just seem to get a "You wanna receipt?" As the total interaction.

Most dragged up not brought up unfortunately. Parents allowing kids to do anything they like as well doesnt help. No respect as the great late Rodney Dangerfield would have said.

it's not just people under 40 with no respect and common decency

Hitler was a leftie.


I've never seen team woke right on here ever pull up this guy for anything he says on here, so I assume all of team woke right share his lack of respect and common decency.

I'm not surprised that the "non partisan Laugh" Escapee hasn't seen "team woke right" on here.

Because the membership of this fantasy group is obviously ZERO, given it only exists in Escapee's addled little brain Crazy.

I see myself as right of centre and hate most things woke so what does that make me?
Report Escapee • October 25, 2026 3:02 PM GMT
Anyone who idolises and demigods a politician on here is part of team woke right.

You won't find any intelligent people worshipping a politician because it's an unintelligent thing to do.


Non Partisan is the exact opposite of the hagiographic idolisation of a politician.


Team woke right are in so absurdly deep, we are talking Kim Il Sung levels of worship deep.

As far as I see no one 'worships' Nigel Farage but just see him as the only viable alternative to those who have tried and failed for the last 100 years or so. Me thinks you are on the wind up.....

Maybe you've just not noticed it Mr Spock, but now I've pointed it out you might start noticing it in it's different forms.

I didn't have to look hard to find an example

Do you have a therapist Escapee ?  If so, please book an appointment.

Mr S - Escapee is a hopeless case i'm afraid. I doubt even he believes the bilge he comes out with. He thinks by coming out with word salads (as above) it makes him appear intelligent, but au contraire Rodney Laugh

TDS, FDS, now RDS  Grin.... NURSE!


Team woke right elevate these politicians to such a high level that anytime anyone disagrees with, or points to something dodgey they did, such as being the most named in the files, or recieving £millions in "gifts"/"donations" which provably broke money laundering laws... Team woke assign them with an imaginary mental illness as way of saying our demigodded politician is untouchable, you have mental illness.


Ridiculous Kim Il Sung levels of worship and reverence going on in team woke right.

Report Mr Spock • October 25, 2026 3:50 PM GMT
The Kim Il Sung comparison is a bit much. North Koreans face severe consequences for failing to show reverence; Farage’s supporters have a choice. You can question their loyalty without comparing it to worship enforced by a dictatorship.

I'm sure Escapee just looks in his dictionary of pretentiousness and picks out random words at times. A la Russell Brand, just spouts any old nonsense in a futile attempt at trying to sound intellectual.

Again, saddo in the post quoted is just taking the mick and the deluded "non partisan Laugh" one seems to think it's evidence of NF adulation Cry

Just been away for a few days in UK.

Remarkable how much good service we received and that's usually the case, even in Newcastle, and even in durham.

Was in a shop and young lad with tattoos around his neck was serving. There were four deaf people in, and he was finding jumpers for them in their sizes as they were going on a walk. He was brilliant with them and even had time to tell us he'd be with us ASAP.

They left smiling.

It's not really typical of standards, he was exceptional, and gives a hint of what it could be like.
Report Ronaldmcdonald • October 27, 2026 11:01 AM GMT
It all starts with having respect for your betters. In the forces they say don't salute the man salute the uniform because the system works on respect. You don't need to like your sergeant or senior officer. The same goes for leaders of countries. You may not disagree with them but you should show respect irregardless.
Report Escapee • October 27, 2026 2:29 PM GMT
You've got no respect for others.

And your mission on here shows you've got no self respect either.


Nobody with any respect would lobby on behalf of a convicted SAer (and most mentioned in the files) so wholeheartedly as you do.

You sold your respect to someone else, you know it, and we can all see it.

If you are honestly concerned Escapee about SAers how do you explain your support for this guy?
