It embarrassed me to read yet I think the american author is 'spot-on' It seems we are frightened of young tearaways in this country and they clearly have the upper hand. Where has all our British Bulldog fighting spirit gone?Read This

Its not going to do our tourist industry much good thats for sure.we always used to take our holidays in the UK but it seems that where ever you go there are the usual yobs roaming around the town centres in the evening,what a refreshing change it has made exploring places like Austria,Germany and Switzerland,enjoying a drink at a bar in the evening without any hassle,clean public transport,litter free streets,in fact just like it was here many years ago.
This is not just my view,but the feeling of everone i know who has be abroad,the average jonny foreigner is proud of his country whereas here no one here seems to give a toss,whitness all the litter,fly tipping, graffiti and dog mess,and that just here in Shropshire.If we dont turn this attitude round we will all be living in a cess pit of a country very soon.

Shrewsbury town centre, by the Old Market Hall, would be a perfect place to fill with tables at night in summer and have outdoor eating and drinking. Funny how if Shrewsbury was anywhere else in Europe this would probably happen, but here in the UK, as soon as it goes dark, the streets are 'owned' by the yobs.

I happened to be caught up, almost imprisoned , on a train packet with commuters from Euston and I mean packed like sardines yesterday. The next stop out of Euston was Watford gap. All hell let loose on thetrain then when about 50 football supporters (Coventry) boarded. The packet train was subject to everything that is anti-social ; verbal abuse, racial taunts, nazi salutes threats to passengers to ' shut-up or you will get bottled'. This happened for two hours. The irony of this was the police were on the train but seemed powerless. Will this make the news, I doubt it, I will however complain to both the police and Virgin trains, I covertly filmed it on my mobile phone!. It didnt sway me much but there were kids crying, old people who tried to intervene and were struck down with vile abuse as the moronic, neandatal chorus bellowed out their Fascist chants, worrying!

I wonder how long the normal hard-working, law-abiding majority of society will tolerate this? I'm waiting for, and hoping for, a revolution (involving the purging of the trouble making scum who are currently getting away with just about everything)!

I think you are in for a very very long wait.

Yup!

We will have to sink into near civil unrest before this goverment wake up to whats going on in this country.

Lets face it Gordon Brown is not exactly action man. I wonder if cameron has anything about him too. Perhaps Jeremy Clarkson Clic here to sign petition. This must be embarrasing for the PM and shows the true mindset of us Brits IMO
