Welcome to Coarse Britannia
Article Abstract:
It has become common in the UK for young men to indulge in aggressive drinking. The pub has become the focal point of British culture, and pub culture is also spreading to the streets. Modern British culture seems to have taken on a coarseness that was not seen in previous generations, particularly with the widely-held obsession with football and sex. From the economic point of view, the UK cannot afford to have a society dominated by people who drink, use foul language and indulge in violence.
