I do sense we are at a social, technological and political crossroads though. And this is all of the west, not just the UK and its happened irrespective of govt.

Things cant carry on as they are. Our society is not mixing enough. We aren't getting enough interaction. Its possible for millions to live their lives online only and that's a breeding ground for misery and extremism.

Things like housing and immigration are totally unsustainable and we have to ask what we want and what we are doing

I think there needs to be a real flip change in how we all interact and live our lives..

Even CCMB. Let's be honest, it's interesting to debate things but loads of us come off this website angrier or more anxious than when we went on it.

Something needs to change
The Jamie bulger case immediately sprung to my mind when listening to this current case on the way home yesterday hence the line about previous heinous crimes, but no will will convince me that this country isn't becoming more crime infested week by week, I have no interest in excuses for it. That's gone past the sell by date.
