      ………………….Childrens Act.

      Let’s here it from the left wing, pinko, trotties about the state we find ouselves in at the moment.

      Trouble in Belfast, recently, was scroaty little b@st@rd kids and not from the ‘old troubles’.

      Last nights Tottenham happenings was led by the youth and the scroats (scrotums) who used that ‘shooting’ as an excuse.

      Clip ’em….give ’em a slap, kick in the crutch and Birch them til they bleed I say…..and in public…the little b’stards.

      ……….and before you get on my case – I’m talking about their lazy, drinking, smoking, drug taking, sh1tty, benefit nickin parents.

      The next 9 year old who considers me to be a “randomer” to buy his/her cigs will see me right into their ‘personal space’.

      For me…I believe we need to return to ‘self policing’ in order to ensure our normality and safety (and that of our older relatives).

      and of course us….when we get older.

            Got to agree with you on this fella.

            I always remember a huge fight taking place at my school – folk were hanging out of trees (and some fell) such was the interest in this scrap.

            The next day, the head announced that anyone who witnessed it was to report to the hall/gym at break. I wandered along and stopped just before entering as I was confronted by a row of lads and lasses hanging from the wall bars, being caned by said headteacher walking along the row!

            Those kids grew up in an age of respect for authority and your elders. Sadly the chav parents of 9yr olds today grew up post-1989, where they were not subjected to a culture of respect at school.

            #69799

            If the kids at your school grew up in such an age of respect for authority & their elders then why the hell were the causing such a disturbance within school in the first place? – surely that’s a contradiction in terms!!!!!

            Not saying that what’s happening over the last few days is acceptable but there’s always a tendency to look at the past with rose tinted specs.

            Take the Toxteth riots. They were before the 1989 Children’s Act & whilst the cause of them was somewhat different to those that took place on Monday & Tuesday night there were far more kids taking part in looting back then than there have been for the last 2 nights

            There is a famous quote from some famous bloke about looking back at the past & making judgements but i cannae be bothered trying to find it

              That, Tyldesley, is complete and utter boll0x…..whilst indeed the riots in Toxteth took place before the act your ‘blase’ assumtion (for that it is what it is) about the number of kids responsible for the looting might as well be in New York – it is so wide of the mark. We can also look at the previous ‘Broadwater Farm’ riots – was it the kids that hacked off the head of PC Keith Blakelock and subesquent riots in other leafy suburbs like High Wycombe…….and since you wrote this trash, you to have been proven (by no other than our lovely media) to be wrong (proper research mate).

              Further; if you ‘cannae’ (is that a jock phrase) be bothered to look something up to quantify your stupid asides then I suggest sir, that you don’t bother at all.

              On holiday – abroad – so won’t even be bothered to read any pithy reply.

              Indeed Cannee is a jock phrase !

              Isn’t there a little bit of contradiction there?

              1989 Children’s Act was surely the legislation of a Conservative govt. under Mrs Thatcher.

              Unfortunately, your post makes it appear to be legislation that left-wing, pinko, trotties are responsible for … which, I’m sure, was unintentional.

                Indeed, my learned friend, however, I am not best disposed to discuss the social experiments of the 60’s leading eventually to this act on my 3g kindle in this heat.

                You missed a half decent game, ruined by the cheer as Gomez was subbed and some mindless booing at the end.
                Enjoy your hols and the debate about the ills of our society may have to wait even longer, as Mrs Primate has arranged our hols so that I miss the QPR game.

                Hope you’re enjoying your holiday Micky & that you eventually get round to reading my pithy reply!! ;)

                I chose to mention the Toxteth riots for a reason. I work in Toxteth about 2 minutes walk from the police station that had its ground floor windows put through last week & I went and had a look at the aftermath of last weeks events the morning after the first night of bother and I spoke to people who live & work in the area to find out what went on & the numbers involved.
                I also work with a good number of people who are Toxteth born & bred and who were in their early teens when the 1981 riots took place. To quote one of them (who lived right behind the Rialto building that got burnt down) – “All the kids on our estate waited for our parents to go to sleep and then just went out looting. We got all sorts of stuff and lots of it and stored it in some garages. We made naff all money off it though coz everyone else had also been out on the rob and with us being young and stupid we had no idea what most of what we’d nicked was worth and ended up giving it away for next to nothing”
                Another fella I work with said “On Smithdown Road gangs would be walking down the street shouting at residents to get out of the flats above the shops coz they were gonna get looted & torched soon”
                Even a cursory glance at some of the historical info on records & on line will provide you with a wealth of similar stories
                So no “blase assumptions” at all Micky. I’m a bit of a social history nerd & working in this area I’ve researched loads about it. That was the reason I mentioned Toxteth specifically & not any of the other disturbances around the same period which I haven’t looked into.
                So thank you very much but I stand by what I said that there were far more kids looting & rioting in the 1981 riots than there were last week when incidentally there was very little looting at all (if only for the reason that there is next to nothing to loot in Toxteth anyway!!). No blase assumptions whatsoever & it can be backed up with even a cursory glance at the available evidence

                Some quotes to illustrate my initial point about people looking at the past through rose tinted specs:

                “We live in a decaying age. Young people no longer respect their parents. They are rude and impatient. They frequently inhabit taverns and have no self-control” – Written 6000 years ago on an Egyptian tomb
                “What is happening to our young people? They disrespect their elders, they disobey their parents. They ignore the law. They riot in the streets, inflamed with wild notions. Their morals are decaying. What is to become of them?” – Plato (4th century BC)
                “The young people of today think of nothing but themselves. They have no reverence for parents or old age. They are impatient of all restraint” – Peter The Hermit (AD 1274)
                I can now add your initial rant to this list of venerable figures!!! ;)
                The quote I was actually thinking of i can’t find on line. I think its in the front of a book I have at home so I’ll try to dig it out to add to the list

                Peter the Hermit? How would he know if he never went out. :think:

                :dance: :dance: :dance:

                Apparently he was some form of preacher/vicar/priest coz that quote is lifted from one of his sermons

                No idea how he got his nickname – maybe MickyC will chastise me for quoting someone I know nowt about!!!

                EDIT – apparently he wasn’t a hermit. One of the leaders of the first crusade by all accounts which considering the amount of death & pillage that created brings to mind the words pot, kettle & black

                Damn! I’ve been reading the History of the Crusades and knew that, but you beat me to it!

                  I do know that Peter and his hermits were into something good back in the sixties. :roll:
