So Embarrassed to be English Today

This was so rammed into the hedge I couldn't dislodge it before I went to work. When I left at the end of the day it wasn't in there.

Boris is wagging his finger, like an ineffectual parent, threatening to punish all, because English idiots have invaded beaches and parks and celebrated a football team coming first at something.

We've made international news with our stupidity, selfish littering of rubbish and selfishness. I'm so ............!

I agree Jackie, what is wrong with people these days? It’s very sad. This shot tells many stories.........

I can’t believe the stupidity I am seeing. Did we go through all this trauma for nothing? I hope not. And this sight........ almost speechless.
June 26th, 2020  
Don’t get me started. I thought some time ago that supermarkets were going to be penalised if a stray trolley was found somewhere other than on their premises!

Yes people are idiots.. we had some unseasonal hot weather while still in lock down and they all flocked to the beaches.. They probably would not of bothered any other time .. just had to buck the system..

Sometimes I wish these inanimate objects could tell their story. Or maybe it's more fun making up the story as to how or why something is where it is. Maybe it crashed trying to catch some common sense.......

If it's any comfort we have shopping trolleys that regularly escape back in to the wild as well - I think it's just some instinctual urge to room the plains like their ancestors did.
June 26th, 2020  
it's a problem worldwide - every breed of shopping trolley escapes and manages to end up upside down somewhere random. I don't know why they do it, seems like suicidal intent. some never quite recover, but most are retrieved and restored ;)

Oh Jackie such a sight...we have a beautiful creek near here with water lillies & ...used... to have many ducks...many of these trolleys end up over the fence & in the creek ..difficult to retrieve. Such mindless behaviour.
June 26th, 2020  
There are so many trolleys in the wild they have their own FB page!!
And don't get me started on the beaches - the seafront was in a sorry state after the hordes left yesterday :(
June 26th, 2020  
@4rky oh poor trolleys!! when we're allowed I'll join you on that walk in Brighton!! Please.

@happysnaps so selfish

@graemestevens and the doffing Brits on beaches??

@koalagardens think this was murdered

@salza possibly

@julzmaioro I'd say more important things to stress about, but I don't want to catch this virus!! And one of those idiots may walk into where I work

@wakelys this is an Asda one if you want to report them?!

@casablanca I do hope not

@365anne I think most people are sensible, but those that aren't are risking us boring old farts lives.

Don't be embarrassed! I didn't hear the news over here.
And besides, the same thing happens in Canada as well!
June 26th, 2020  
It is the same the world over not only with abandoned shopping trolleys but with people gathering in large crowds during a pandemic. I don't think we will ever be able to put a lid on Covid 19 while there are so many stupid people in the world. Unfortunately, it isn't only the stupid people who suffer. This pandemic is so contagious they pass it on to law-abiding and intelligent people too.

It sounds to me as if you might be becoming American! At least everything you’re describing sounds like the stupidity that we have in our country!
June 27th, 2020  
UK doesn’t have a lock on that. I share your frustration.
June 27th, 2020  
oh, dear! the people above me are having a party and the noise from the balcony is just awful. this time, these are not white people, just the ones who think they're superior and not prone to the disease. stupidity is rather universal. i wonder if there are stupid aliens?
June 27th, 2020  
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Yes, well...shan't comment on that...
June 27th, 2020  
😣

Scenes like this also upset me. Somebody do have to pay for the broken trolley.Some people acts as if they do not have brains. My daughter saw a mother with her child standing in a big department shop here. We do have to wear masks. Both mother and child standing with he mask in their hands. The child sneezed all over the items on the shelve. The mother ignored the act. Now we wonder why the virus spreads....

I am beginning to believe that the world has gone insane with this pandemic. It’s just as bad here in the US with the ignorant people thinking they can have protests (More like riots) with hundreds of people on top of each other!!!!! Makes me so upset I could scream.
June 27th, 2020  
All I can say is unfortunately, I can relate all too well. We are seeing such tragic loss of life, what could have been prevented with strong leadership as we see in so many other countries.

Once at school, a history teacher was draw a sine wave of human history on a blackboard. She talked about a man can be liable to rise to the heights of his abilities. And at other times he is terrible and behaves unreasonably. I asked her where we were now. She replied that we are going downhill sharply. I was outraged by that, but going through my life I agree with her. We're going down!

I think everyone is tired of following rules and not having a "normal" life.
June 27th, 2020  
@randystreat true, but I'd like to stay alive longer and might not if I come across an idiot who gives me the virus
@haskar some of us are up there Hannah!!
@taffy can't blame leaders, individuals have responsibilities
@jb030958 it's a mad world
@sdutoit some parents need a manual- to be hit over the head with,,!
@momamo 😱☹️
