As much as this disgusts me, I am not surpised Bill. The worst bit is they wont be caught, no one ever is - and even when they do it doesn't mean they will get locked up (which I think they should be). It was reported that 2 lads were attacked at Burger King for their wallets last week, no one has been caught for that either. I do not feel safe in Newbury at the moment, alot of the muggings are taking place in the daytime, and if they can get away with it then, what more can they get away with at night.....

I blame Cameron. Its the cuts that are making people do it. (thought I'd beat RG to the punch). In all seriousness this is a major problem in Newbury now. There is a hardcore of mainly white, alcoholic drug addicts that prey on people for money for there fix. You know where most of them live. You only have to read the news to find out where drugs raids have been carried out, where overdoses occur and you see it on the street in the south of Newbury around Bart Street and Pound Street every day. You don't think people on benefits can afford a £100 a day alcohol, fags and drugs habit. Its not rocket science.

Crime is down to ones own moral judgement. There are a lot of people who have suffered through job loss, recession or whatever, but have never turned to crime. All your comments would achieve is giving the scum an excuse for attacking, stealing or abuse.

People might have read our friend as being serious so I thought I might add my two pennies worth and put them straight... just in case they didn't see "In all seriousness..." You know what people from Newbury or surrounding areas can be like? In all seriousness..... it has been a nice day today (weather-wise).

QUOTE (Bloggo @ Apr 18 2011, 10:00 AM) It all comes down to a credible deterent. If there is not one that the criminals fear then they will continue to prey on the weak, vulnerable and just plain unlucky. What we need are a few cranes in the Market place where we can 'string em up'
