A creepy film on telly
Made May shiver right down to her belly
Her curtain fluttered
and a soft voice muttered

Unfortunately many of our young don't seem to have parents who inspire them.. Who encourage them...
Instead of learning a skill or a job that helps with the career they might have chosen..
  they quickly learn how to become streetwise and how to protect themselves at a very young age..

Perhaps if our governments had controlled our streets.. schools.. immigration..
It might have been a country that the young would be proud to live in..
Unfortunately .. in the main.. It is not..

Things have go to the point where people simply can't afford to get off benefits and go to work. 

I think the minimum wage has probably made things worse as it seems to me that many employers just treat it as the correct wage for those with low skills and no qualifications and at the level set it means both adults in such a family (when there still is one) absolutely have to work to be able to afford the high housing costs. 

Those housing prices are inflated by demand -  unrestricted immigration allowed the fix the demographic problems caused by those who are willing to work finding they are unable to afford a family and those that aren't willing bringing up one that follows in their footsteps.

They are also inflated by low supply which is partly down to no cheap labour these days. Who would work on a building site for minimum wage rather than go on benefits. No training or apprenticeships to speak of.  Planning nightmares. Ever more stringent building regulations. Demand for unprofitable low price houses in every development.

Plenty of problems. Easy to see. Difficult to fix.

An interesting discussion. 
However, as to the jobless young people our Minister of Defence recognized it correctly - unmotivated people with no interest in defending their country are more or less useless. On the other side as I already told you my father was inspired by the stories about war heroes shown in the cinemas and joined the armed forces and shocked by the real world  of war. 
Some years ago I watched a TV documentary on the jobless young people  in Northern England and I think the  problem - yours and ours  - is that too many young people drop school, become drug addicted and live in a problem family. 

It's hard to know but there are suggestions that there will be action although as I suggested earlier far too late to help thousands of Iranians who are now beyond both help and caring about anything.

Pointers...
Trump hates the Iranian regime
There is a build up of American military
Most airlines will not fly there right now
Diplomats leaving

With Trump the most important of those points is the first. He is impulsive. He will be hoping to pick up a some plaudits but I think he missed the boat on that. The chances are his military told him it would be too risky earlier. Americans like overwhelming odds and TBH who can blame them.

"I think he will act on Iran ."
Don't be too sure - in 1956 when the Hungarians - above all the young generation - hoped the USA will help them they didn't get any help from the Americans and many of them lost their lives or had to flee.

Lawyers would make a lot of expensive work for other lawyers.... would they?









They would wouldn't they.
