Reader Ivan Durak passed along this dismal photo collage from the Daily Mail. The skinny – a Polish student went to Cardiff, Wales and was so horrified by what he saw every Saturday night that he started taking pictures of the carnage. The collage has become so popular that it was exhibited in France. Be forewarned – the pictures are so depressing that you might have to take up religion (or drinking) to cope.
I’m not a party animal, but I’ve seen my share of spills, thrills and alcohol-induced vomiting spells. But I’ve never seen someone passed out on the street – mainly because they’d either freeze to death in the winter or get cleaned out by muggers in the summer. Take note of the trash can overflowing with take-out (or “take-away” in the Limey parlance) containers – this will be a recurring theme.
Bottle blonde pukes her guts out onto her sidewalk. Her friend can only spare one hand to help her out, because she needs the other one to guard her overstuffed, tacky purse. The other one doesn’t even care, as shown by her body language and the annoyed look on her face. Two Welsh neckbeards look on with a mix of disgust and lust.
Another recurring theme – fat girls wearing dresses that are too tight for them, and who have egos as big as their flopping stomach rolls. If you fucked either of these broads, how much would you hate yourself in the morning?
Dignity? Grace? Class? I know not of these words.
Pudgy dweeb tries out peacocking (check the hat). This picture just fills me with questions. Why is this guy dressed like a fat chick? Did he start out in this getup or did he change while out on the town? Did his friends put him up to it? Is he trying to win a bet? The mind boggles and boggles and boggles.
Mannish chick, fat chick, and douchebag. Still, I can’t fault this guy too much because he’s the only genuinely happy person in the collage.
No, she is not going to call you back.
“Tee hee, you know what’s more fun than getting so drunk you can’t even stand up! Doing it EVERY WEEKEND! Hehe!”
Wow. You’ve got two girls wearing horribly mismatched clothes that would shame even a hipster and a heffalump couple, all willingly sitting in a pile of fast food wrappers. This willingness to lie in filth is so foreign to me I can’t even articulate a proper response.
Christ, these have got to be the saddest hedonists on the face of the Earth. The forced smiles betray these girls’ inner feelings. Drinking, doing drugs and fucking are supposed to be fun, but these people approach it with all the joy of homeless crack whores.
The most depressing photo out of the bunch. I mean, just look at it. You’ve got a 300 pound seacow in sweatpants dancing with her boyfriend, a 100 pound four-eyed twerp. What more needs be said?
The Daily Mail caption to this one says that “[m]ost parents will have no idea what their children get up to on an average night out”. Oh trust me, they know. They helped create it.
The unifying theme I see in these pictures is hopelessness. Even with all the freedom in the world to live it up, these kids look lost, aimless and profoundly unhappy. This is a portrait of a lost generation, a generation with nothing to believe in and no reason to live. They soak themselves in booze and boobs every Saturday night because that’s all they have. I have no clue how you could bring these people back from the abyss – God is dead and His secular replacements have all been failures.
This is a perfect opportunity to say that after laying waste to Amy Winehouse when she died two months ago, I decided to give her a second chance, and she’s not too bad. Her first album, Frank, is way better than Back to Black for a multitude of reasons, including the fact that it has this spitefully poignant masterpiece, “Fuck Me Pumps,” a slam on the kinds of vacant-eyed sluts pictured above:
Granted, the song is motivated more by envy and cattiness, the kind only a weird-looking Jewish girl who constantly had her boyfriends stolen by vapid blonde bimbos could experience, but damn if this shouldn’t be Britain’s new national anthem.

Love the song. I saw those pics last night. Depressing.
“Autonomy and Freedom of choice are critical to our well being, and choice is critical to freedom and autonomy. Nonetheless, though modern Americans have more choice than any group of people ever has before, and thus, presumably, more freedom and autonomy, we don’t seem to be benefiting from it psychologically.”
—Barry Schwartz, The Paradox of Choice, 2004.
Too much freedom is a hazard not only to society, but will lead to destructive habits to ourselves. The best lifestyle to pursue is one of moderation and discipline. The grand god that is Democracy has failed. Strong leadership with clear vision is needed more than ever. If we as people are unable to control ourselves, we must be controlled for our own good.
Casting my vote for benevolent absolute monarchy/dictatorship in 2012.
I lived in Cardiff for three years… people wonder why I don’t like drunk women.
I wish I had thought of a montage like this when I was in Europe. You should see Amsterdam at 4:00 in the morning. But then again taking pictures in places like that will quickly get your expensive camera thrown in a canal. And not just by the people you’re taking pictures of, the police will gladly do it also. This reminds me a lot of the time I spent in Birmingham, U.K. Completely nihilistic and hedonistic youth and increasingly middle-aged culture. And most of them either on government aid or supported by their parents.
Reminds me of an old Benny Hill joke:
What do you call a Welsh rarebit?
A virgin from Cardiff.
On the bright side, most of the girls are wearing heels, even the 80s mismatched pair. I’d prefer these skanks than DC skanks.
I think you’re making a mountain out of a mole hill and using it to justify a strange affinity for Amy Whinehouse garbage.
This isn’t anything new – not by a long shot. Just check out William Hogarth’s Gin Lane and Beer Street.
It’s a damn tragedy that Britain has devolved into this. Empire of Britain to drunken crack whore in under fifty years. RIP.
More pics of hot, drunk Welsh chicks please! Hold the land whales.
Dude… Whinehouse has the voice of a cat in a blender.
WTF… I guess I am not missing much as far as the nightlife is concerned
This is nothing new. The Victorian age was much like this, only worse.
The nature of being cut off from kith and kin in cities makes humans behave badly just like rats in cage tests really.
Now if we want it to stop we need to encourage more extended family and kinship arrangements as well as a stronger culture
The reason we don’t is the powerful state and the corporation fear such things as such groups are rarely loyal to them, consume less and are often less clients of either. Self sufficient true autonomy is terrifying to them.

Nailed It
What’s the over-under on how long it will take for some enraged utilitarian liberal to storm in here declaring that it’s all the fault of evil far-rightists like David Cameron for cutting spending (or something)?
The cross-dressing guy is probably part of a bachelor party … (or ‘stag night’ as they say there – it’s a Brit thing, what can I say). The chavettes kitted out as policewomen are probably part of a ‘hen party’ a female version of a bachelor party which is what chavettes do instead of Bridal Showers.
Yeah, the Victorians (and every other era) had their degenerates. The difference is previous eras also had various more worthwhile endeavors and ways for at least some of those with the basic human capital to rise (even if it was hard) while for a big part of Western Europe THIS IS ALL THERE IS NOW!!!!!!! There is no empire, no industry, no worthwhile labor, just big daddy state handouts, meaningless busywork and drinking yourself to oblivion to dull the pain of not having anything to live for.
I used to hope that Central / Eastern Europe could help save western Europe but I kind of doubt that anymore, the influence is all going in the other direction.
“This isn’t anything new – not by a long shot. Just check out William Hogarth’s Gin Lane and Beer Street.”
Or “The Fleet’s In!” by Paul Cadmus.
Should be titled “what whites/non-muslims are doing instead of raising a family”.
Egad, it’s enough to turn a man teetotal. This is how the British approach drink. People work long hours five days a week and spend their Sarurday nights getting bladdered. The difference is people are drinking different kinds of drink now. Alcopops, chasers and big cocktail pitchers make it easier to drink a lot very quickly. Drinking establishments are different too. A lot of old-fashioned pubs have been replaced by nightclubs and the demographic is often exclusively young. An absence of older people tends to an excessive drinking culture among the young drinkers – as illustrated by the photos.
The photos are embarassing indeed. A perfect illustration of the empty lives led by our young people. Seeing things like this makes me really believe Britain is f*cked well and truly.
I need a drink…
Nothing new here. Hogarth’s Gin Lane in a new context. Britain’s always been like this, contra the Harry Potter Anglophilic agit prop, parasitic, feudal and banking class ruling over degenerate trash. And over here in the US, in Dixie, we just replicated the model with a few colonial twists. Just another reason of not too proud of having an Anglo-Saxon surname. Can we behave like sane people without becoming Puritanical, cheerless prudes? Honestly?
Sorry, no intention to offend anybody, but could this also have to do a little with Protestant culture (as opposed to other parts of Europe at least)?
You call them kids because women have the brain of a kid right? That I agree to.
Or maybe they do what they do because everyone calls everyone else “kid”, state being the first.
And someone above expect a “kid” raise a family LOL get serious.
Ah man, this makes me so glad I chose to spend most of my life learning and building my business instead of fucking it off in clubs and loose sluts. If the economy doesn’t collapse in 10 years and starve these chicks then it won’t even be possible to get a hooker with a BMI under 25.
Man those pictures are just depressing.
I’m well familiar with this scene. Sadly.
Britain is just begging for a dictatorship.
Whether it be Nationalist or Islamic…well, time (and bloodshed) will tell.
Whiskey had a post about exactly the same subject:
http://whiskeys-place.blogspot.com/2009/09/uks-cultural-collapse.html
Well fed, strong British girls. No cultural collapse at all, it was always like that.
Not a bad write up but I’d question how the ‘douchebag’ in the 7th pic can be any more genuinely happy than the others.
Well, England deserved it, I feel no compassion for them. It was something expected to happen since they have nothing else to live for. And for those who say it was always like that….Please wake up, if that were the case, the Brittish empire would have never existed….Truly from Empire to crack malnourished whore, Britain is dead.
Isn’t in like this in nearly all of Europe? Save for the overweightness/obesity, isn’t this what a significant portion of youth in the West do for fun?
I spent a month in continental europe and scandinavia and nearly every British tourist I saw was some variant of this.
J: when I was a teenager some three decades ago (think Sex Pistols) we had our fair share of degenerates, but we were generally skinny and fit. Not now. I’m overweight, but I see 20 year old men and women who are bigger than me every day.
Any minute now, someone will stop by to blame the minorities–
4, 3, 2, 1…
single motherhood culture caused this
Funny. I used to consider moving to the UK if I ever got married and had children, and raising my children there. After seeing those pictures, as well as some others of drunk revellers in Wales, I reconsider. Perhaps maybe Scotland is still a beacon of hope? Anyone know how if the Scottish are properly maintaining themselves?
What is really sad is that otherwise intenligent men will spend £2500 on a bootcamp learning how to pay megabucks to a nightclub for the chance to talk to one of these women. They will dress like a loon and talk seven hours of drivel for the chance to take one of them home- and then call it an achivement.
It is men who are selling themselves cheap.
The Muzzies who will soon control Europe plan to clean all this up & the Bimbos will find themselves in Burqas….
LOL, I guess Australia follows everything Britain does…This looks like typical Surfers Paradise QLD..Ssad
Isn’t this western white anglo culture? Boozin and bangin, men and women alike.
the unhappiest person in this is YOU. Are you some bloody born again virgin? All britain is not like this. And any man who likes getting laid should be happy. Great place to get laid. But what would you know about that, you bloody ideological wahabbi Saudi?
Michael Savage had a segment on this. I’m not even normally a fan of mouth breathing neanderthals on the radio but this was good.

So THAT’S why I quit drinking!
