Surely this has now gone totally beyond a joke and become completely out of hand. Talk about political correctness gone absolutely bonkers...
What has this country come to when certain people can dictate to the extent where these crazy rules are now being brought into force? It's laughable in the extreme.
No wonder that the youth of today have little or no respect for the law or anyone else, when things have now reached this unbelievable condition where instead of concentrating on the real problems in the country, all that the powers- that-be seem to be doing is going away, sitting in a room and thrashing out ridiculous topics like this, as if they've nothing better to do, with the end result that the police cannot call yobs, yobs anymore?
What a sad world we are living in and to think that taxpayers are paying for air-heads like this to come up with these atom splitting decisions.
No wonder there is a drastic drop in people wishing to join the police. It must be so disheartening and demoralising for those already there.
The young of today are having a field day. They feel that they are indestructible and can ride rough-shod over anyone and in whatever manner they choose.
Nobody can touch them any longer, anarchy rules ok?
"Let's beat up as many 80-year-old women as we like, until they are completely black and blue, or even dead for the 50p that they have in their purses.
"Nt only are the police not allowed to use force on us any longer, but they now can' even call us yobs as it may well upset us.
"Heaven forbid, if they call me a yob and hurt my feelings, I'll soon have them up in court.'' The only logical answer that makes any sense isd that I am having a dream about being in a Monty Python TV sketch and in the morning I'll wake up and everything will be all right again I'm having trouble deciding which of the two recent ones I've heard about are the most funny or pathetic, depending on which padded cell they've put me in at the time.
What is happening to this country? What has happened to good honest values of principles and decency? What has happened to respect and discipline?
Why is it that increasingly the indigenous population of this once great country are made to feel that they have to take a back seat for everyone else, being pushed aside in a way which no longer makes them feel heard or valued, seemingly paving the way for just about anyone else who cares to push in, and make their mark on our society?
PETE MORGAN, Bramdean.
