Sod it - I'm going to take action Options

[jimpanzee]

After seeing that people on here also seem to express the same disgust at the sorry state of various individuals sullying our streets, I have decided I am going to detail anything that I see and thought was wrong.

I would love it if the rest of you guys joined in and as a community we stand up and point out the people doing things that are illegal, unsavoury and morally wrong.



I'll start with a little one.


Just been to co-op in Thatcham, and on exit I saw someone clearly dealing some illegal substance right outside. A place which is meant to be a safe area for kids.



Now i've not always been a clean cut individual, far from it. But you can have the common decency to take things away from the general public, especially the young.


What have you seen on our streets lately?

Saw a chap who tried to intervene when he saw four kids trying to smash a fence up in the alley between Catherine Road and the Station the other day. Needless to say they threw Stones at him, swore at him and were very agressive. Nice kids. I expect their parents were on their 3rd tub of white lightening.

Yes, and if he did retaliate it would be him who gets into trouble and not the kids; because kids have human rights, innocent, good citizen's don't. And if the police witnessed this behaviour, what would they have done? Give the kids a stern talking to? Or even their parents? I don't think so. Those kids do it because they behave like masters; untouchable... and they are that way because society doesn't act. They just defend the indefensible.

GOD THIS SORT OF THINK MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL... and my anger is not directed towards the kids but the government and authority for allowing us to get into this situation.

And which political party is going to take tough action to rectify this situation?
None of the mainstream parties!
Which is why so many people are saying enough is enough and backing some of the minority parties.

It's no use moaning when this happens - the mainstream parties have to take the necessary action on the issues where the people want it or the more extreme parties will only gain more power.

I agree... that is why so many people, as you said, have turned to minority parties. But if we don’t stand up and be counted we can’t point the finger at other people.

All this rot started with Blair’s government. He promised so much (“education, education, education” & “tough on crime, tough on the causes on crime”) and actually delivered just his famous sound bites. He turned this country into a Big Brother society (we are the most watched country in the world), gave us the Human Rights bill (that protects the yobs of our society) and then walked away leaving Brown to deal with his mess and the worst recession in 60 years. Next year can’t come quick enough; a general election that might, just might, bring in a new dawn.
