Yes, this is how the British Commissioner for Children, Sir Al Aynsley Green, would like to see young knife-carrying thugs dealt with by police.
He has enraged the country by pitifully whining on about how the current knife-culture is a ” delicate issue “ ; that giving police the authority ( hello, what’s that ? ) to stop, search and disarm knife wielding youths could ” antagonise them “ .
Well, my heart bleeds for the poor little darlings…imagine being asked by a couple of policemen to empty your pockets and hand over your knives when told to. How dare such an infringement of human rights be allowed to happen !!
Of course society must stop this from happening; we cannot have a police force upsetting these sensitive little darlings by taking away their precious weapons…
or giving them a taste of their own medicine…
Don’t worry plenty of people will stop this from ever happening…

As two boys aged just 12 and 13 have been arrested in Yorkshire England for the bashing murder of a 17 year old youth just two days ago, one over-riding thought occurred to me - the United Kingdom is saddled not just with the problem of a culture of youth violence, but rather something far more sinister.
We have produced a generation of kids who have no feelings whatsoever. No conscience, no conception of right or wrong. Having said that they sure do know that kicking a persons head like a football for several minutes is going to result in that persons death…yet they happily lay in to their victim with often several pairs of feet at a time.
The frightening thing is that these kids do not care. They care not one bit about inflicting suffering or even death on an innocent person; they have no fear of arrest - the reason being there are so very few consequences, certainly no serious ones, to punish them for what they do. They are a feral generation of unfeeling, cold, uncaring robots.
The blame lies in so many obvious places. However for every valid reason which clearly explains why this social catastrophe has happened, there are dozens of excuses thrown in to deny and avoid the truth.
* You cannot blame those single mothers who exist solely on welfare doing no work at all other than to produce successive babies to successive ill-chosen, inadequate men…
* You cannot blame violent films or ultra violent computer games where the focus is on shoot, bash and kill in order to score points and win…
* You cannot blame the liberal 24 hour licensing laws or the easy availability of cheap alcohol to underage kids…
* You cannot blame the homes these kids come from; no decent male role-model and often no idea of who ‘Dad’ even is…
* You cannot blame the overabundance of rights these kids have which in turn excuse them from responsibility…
* You cannot blame a media which rewards drug addicted, alcoholic young celebrities with endless publicity and hero status…
No, you cannot use any of these examples to explain why the United Kingdom is a nation in the grip of teen-terrorism because, behind all these reasons, is far too much truth for the Govt and society to cope with. A Govt that has actively encouraged entire households to sit on their backsides and collect money for doing nothing. A Govt that has bought millions of votes by actively encouraging and rewarding poor quality people to breed excessively. A Govt that has sanctioned far too many rights for these people and not balanced the scales with any responsibilities.
Caring parents have no right to discipline their children; teachers have no right to enforce discipline at school; irresponsible parenting has replaced responsible parenting; police have few to no adequate powers of authority.
Right now a huge mirror is being held to the face of British society and the reflection is ugly in it’s honesty.

Yep, we are feeling like right bloody dunces and have been since June last year. ” Never again ” is what our philosophy is now. We have been well truly taken in.
If you run a hotel/B&B or accommodation of any kind and receive a request along these lines :
” Hello, I am a travel writer for several news publications, i.e Daily Express UK, and am currently researching an article for places to stay in…(your region)… Would you be interested in swapping one night’s free accommodation in your establishment in return for a published review of your property ? “
Sounds fine yeah ? We received such a request in June last year. And, stupidly, we agreed as we thought it would be fun to see ourselves in print in a newspaper even though we didn’t need the publicity. She was travelling around so I assume she did alright out of other accommodation owners that month. Free holiday - nice work if you can get it.
One year later - after extending to this ‘reviewer’ and her boyfriend nearly £140 worth of goods and services for their one night stay here ( room, food and drink ) - we are still waiting for any sign of that promised mention of our business. We are not expecting to be adorned with a five star rating (far from it), or glowing and gushing words to any effect…just a few words to honour the verbal agreement we had - or at least the reason why the agreement has not been met.
Okay, it was agreed via email…but I wonder if the Daily Express in the UK is aware of this as it was for this publication that this ‘reviewer’ was claiming to be writing the article for; this is where our ‘review’ was supposed to appear…and to date has not. Not that it matters any more as we are selling up and moving on - but I just hate being swindled.
Okay, I have mellowed with time I will name her - her name is Beverly Fearis.
There. If she sends you an email - then delete it !!
