I must start by saying how saddened & angry I am with what the youths in England have been doing.
I live near Clapham Junction, Brixton, Sloane Square (The famous Kings Road) & the Houses of Parliment, Big Ben etc. I am more or less in the centre of all these locations.
I am ashamed to be British!!!
My Son is a Special Police Constable & he has now been called up to police our streets. I am worried sick for his safety.
The Police cannot do right from wrong. My personnel opinion is that there should be a curfew for everyone, & if anyone is found on the streets after a certain time then they should be dealt with .... regardless. They should use cable ties to bound their legs together & their arms too. It is far too politically correct!!
Now.......

ReplyDeleteTotally agree with you on the mindless violence. My son who is 16 was saying that there should be a curfew and anyone seen in the street should be punished severly. I won't repeat what he told me :)
I am not british but my children are and they are so ashamed.
Hugs xx
