what the hell is going on in this country?

with the 11 year old boy getting shot, by a boy on a BMX.

and there is a knife crime commited every 8 seconds

it because we don't provide them with enough activities, youth clubs etc. I mean i never went to a youth club yet it hasn't compelled me to mug old ladies, steal cars, shoot some one because i don't like the look of them. its because there is no law for them, they will just get away with it and the only punishment thy will get is a policeman saying "don't do that its bad"

and things will only get worse, wee need a government with sense, hug a hoody

I agree wholeheartedly with you wideboy, the law doesn't punish any more, it seems to be a supplimentary education system put in place to try to "gently gently, hugs and cushions" re-educate offenders. However most criminals have little or no education in the first place and are well aware that if they pay lip service to the current system, they will be let off nearly scott free.
Don't think community service actually involves and hard, back breaking work either. Often, it will involve attempts to get people to enjoy team sports, ie football (well known for it's well behaved fans).

"Cheers chum, it's a deal"

I really wonder why I lock people up some days!

america's got a lot to answer for

Kids dont fear the police these days if used to be scared to death of the police when i was young they need a good smacked **** some of them.

Before i start on a Rant, who is that in the Avatar?

Hovis dude....if there was a knife attack every 8 seconds there would be nearly 4 million knife attacks a year!

Whats going to be on sale in M&S this winter, stab proof t-shirts?
Somebody will make a killing out of this!

The Stig??

its because this country has decided to be run (and the public let it happen) by a bunch of PC out of touch human rights loving co*cks. Also people in the UK bang on about the rights of all. IMO if you commit a crime like that then you forfit all human rights.

The way to stop it is as follows.

Bring back corpral punihment in schools.

Stop bowing down to PC and ensuring that the human rights of the offender are forfitted once commited and imprisoned.

revert Prison back to the victorian standard of 10 to a hole and regular beatings with little food and no exersise etc, its meant to be a punishment not a holiday camp!!

Dish out harder sentances for these type of crimes.

Bring back hanging.

Bring back national service.

give the police powers to beat thugs like this on the spot, and reduce their red tape.

Open revolt by the public agains the state of the UK, with me as the head of the revolt, then once the government has been brought down ill take over as a fictator for a few years and ensure there is a zero tolerance to crime of any sort before making the UK a good place to live and somewhere to be proud to say you come from again!!
