whoops... not quite as I intended it to imply; corrected.

seriously though, what on earth are we doing running around putting the world to rights, when our own backyard is descending into a particular brand of british anarchy. We send brave young men out to fight 'the enemy', when we have home grown terrorists marauding our streets and housing estates gradually eating away at our society.

I don't agree with Blair's stated reasons for going to war in Afghanistan or Iraq, but even so, do you really honestly think that you couldn't find similar stories from any country on the face of the planet with more than about 25 residents? Every single place on earth gets this st or stuff like it.

I just get really pissed off with people taking every possible opportunity to use this sort of crap to try and put our country down. If you're not happy living here, then sod off and live somewhere else instead.

They’re only clichés because they are such common occurrences. Which part of my original statement is not true clever cogs?

He's not moaning though.

Seeing as I am only 23, was there no crime before Labour got in to power? I understand people blaming them for most things but for thugs?

I'm pretty sure there have always been gangs/violence and don't think any country is without these problems.

Your point being? confused

If you're going to try and tell me that Epsom is some sort of garden of Eden, please give me advanced warning so that I can take a leak first, just to make sure I don't piss myself laughing.

If you're going to suggest that wherever you live is all hard and full of criminals, then go back and read my post again, and I'll stand by every word in it.

why did a bit of excrement who should be flogged then hung get 3 years, when a couple of thugs with pottentially a legitimate grievance grt 12 years? What the hell are the judiciary playing at? Why dont we just have a state pen like in the states and just fling these idiots in ther for good. I live only a few miles from Levenshulme and I pay too much tax to have idiots walking the streets with guns. The police should be given 48 hours to clean this lot up or face the sack.

Possibly because it doesn't work!

I hate seeing scum getting let off with a massaged wrist (because heaven forbid we actually slap them!) as much as the next man, but it's difficult to get round the fact that despite the Americans' much greater propensity for slinging scum in prison, they still have a murder rate of nearly 6 people per 100,000 as opposed to a figure in England & Wales of something like 1.5 per 100,000.

What happened to the new tough on gun crime sentences?

That thug sticks a gun in someone's face and gets.... 3 years.

"background" reports probably point to his "disadvantaged" status
