Birch or ASBO?

SO, what do you think is the most effective?

Birch.....or a jolly good fisting

I agree with Frankie Boyle, they should have called them gaybos or bender badges

Violence - under any circumstances and perpetrated by anyone - is the last resort of the unimaginative. It's almost entirely about revenge and has nothing to do with genuine justice.

surely better than completely ineffectual suggestions that the scroats might "quite kindly, you know, not set any more pensioners on fire this week... perhaps?"

I disagree. I was belted as a child and I deserved it. It very quickly taught me where the limits were. Without it I'd have just kept pushing the envelope.

I think we should have a trial. 6 months should do it.

50% birched, 50% ASBO'd and see what the re-offed rates are.

Or even, if you gave the choice of either an ASBO or the birch to the scroats, then whatever they choose give them the opposite, that would be "punishment". give them the one they least fancy.

There is no "punishment" in this country any more. Only getting ""Locked" up with an Xbox, the internet and satelite TV.

Justice no longer exists and the scum know it-therefore a good beating to within an inch of their life might make them think again(but i doubt it).
