Quite. Anyone who tries to make out this is anything but criminal opportunistic thieving is a left wing softie that helped contribute to the problem of no discipline in the youths of today. No consequences to their actions at home, school and the pubs for too long is the cause.
Send them all on national service, that’ll teach ’em. Scum
Apologies all, I wrote this before I saw the Oh what a surprise Blog so I’m a little behind! 😀
The guy has it spot on Bearsy, as does a senior police officer from Northern Ireland who coined the phrase ‘Recreational Violence’ to describe recent events in NI that the criminals involved with tried to wrap up in the old political flag.
It’s an interesting article,  I happen to agree with it.  I’ve just been reading some others on the subject, here is one of them. Just one of many, I suspect, but not an unreasonable question, although you may disagree, Bearsy.
Cuprum suggested a lack of discipline, and etc, so if nothing else we surely should attempt to address these issues.
Araminta, dear Araminta – The wimmen (what’s the singular of wimmen?) wot wrote that pile of merda to which you refer is a card-carrying, metropolitan leftie of the first order. She, like JulieT, is part of the problem, not the solution.
Linkey Thing.

Bravo – And what is racist about those statistics unless you are a white, female, card-carrying metropolitan leftie who would only quote the first?

Yeah, OK OZ, I was being slightly contentious, but not entirely. 🙂
Blooming women, how unreasonable are we? You are quite right to issue a warning; only fair!
Ahem, dear OZ, it’s a question of balance, but OK, it’s a fair cop. 😦
Araminta – 🙂
