As part of my 'Broken Britain' series of posts I occasionally highlight areas where our society is exhibiting signs of breakdown or collapse. This post is, I hope, a one off, but I am not so sure it is.
It involves Folkestone, not a town you would associate with a societal breakdown, indeed a place that brings to mind, retirees and gentlefolk wandering its board-walks. Or mayhap you think of the ferries to the continent (if they still go from there). However it appears that the rise of the underclass has hit even this seasidedead-zone, retirement area.
Like all towns these days, Folkestone has a shopping centre (at Bouverie Place), in which there is a Primark (which for my non UK readers is a cheap clothing superstore, which the UK has in most towns). These stores have changing rooms to try things on, but of course there are somethings such as women's lingerie that can't be tried on in any shop .... or so you would have thought.
