We have our guns and are not giving them up without one hell of a fight.That is a major difference.
Children who do such horrific crimes need to be put away forever. They’re what’s known as a *bad seed*. There’s no rehabilitating this kind of person.
Really a sad commentary on the decline of the country that gave the world English Common Law. I wonder if we're far behind.
Time to bring back draw and quartering and put the head on a pike.
"Yeah...I was cured."
And does anyone ever hear 'Singin' In The Rain' the same way ever again?
Have they ruled out the Public Health Committee?
My brother and I used to play blackjack in Vegas, counted cards and we would talk backwards to each other at the same table to pass info.....as to how many Aces and face cards were left....I MUST BE SLIPPING...WAS NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS ENGLISH TERM!
YOB
The antithesis of what a good boy should be - rude,obnoxious, violent and stupid. Formed by spelling ‘boy’ bacwards, it was coined in England in the 18th century as it was very popular amongst upper classes to speak backwards at the time.
Have you seen that boy? He’s a yob
” Yeah, it’s been downhill ever since the “glory days” of Sid Viscious & Johnny Rotten. (puke)

Actually , compared to Britain 2009 - 1979 WAS the glory days . Between 1976-1984 I spent quite a bit of time in England , and not just in London . Yes , the place was “ grilled “ but as Basil Fawlty would say “ there was still life in the old place “ . Never had a problem anywhere I went . Was I just lucky ?
after seeing this picture, im cringing in sadness that a child like this could be abused like that. :(
That's amazing. No wonder youth crime is a problem - no guidance at home, and no consequences outside of it.
Ah yes, Sid Vicious and Johnny Rotten. How could I forget. I think the relentless spread of pop culture (which always idolizes the most shocking thing it can find simply to attract attention) into a society that had lost religious faith and hence the ethics that went with it actually did have a lot to do with this phenomenon of amorality and violent behavior among youth.
Nature abhors a vacuum, and once faith had gone, driven out by the collapse of churches and the pressure of the invasive socialist system, evil had no taking its place.

Many countries in Europe used to be great. But since they have joined the EU, they have given up their own individual identity and their individual cultures and societies have slid into the slippery slope of socialism and the deep abyss from which I doubt they can ever recover.
We must never let that happen here
Amen to that!
