George is right in saying that the blame culture is eroding many people's sense of self responsibility, and the tendency to blame irresponsibility and thuggery on an unhappy childhood is laughable.
One side bleats about poor little Johnny who was brought up in poverty with a drunken father, and it's not really his fault that he turned out as he did, and they mentally spread the blame.
Another side blames one person like Maggie Thatcher, for the sins of a whole system of government, which is patently misguided, and possibly just a tad prejudiced.
So it goes with Richard Hammond, he's now being held up by some as epitomising a certain type of antisocial driver behaviour, for making his living on private land with safety and rescue people on standby, he is blamed for yobbos driving stolen cars through council estates! That's some extrapolation!
