Tony Blair said after his election victory that he would listen to the people. Is he deaf? The word he claims to have heard most during the campaign was “respect” but what he failed to perceive was that it was in reference to the lack of it which people have for HIM due to the lies he told to engage the country in an illegal and unwanted war. But Tony has interpreted it entirely differently and says it was referring to yobbery and not his elitist snobbery.
According to the media, anyone who sports a baseball cap and sweatshirt with a hood is guilty of anti-social behaviour or causing fear and insecurity in society. Michael Moore, Prince Harry and Madonna must be included in this category, as it is their preferred mode of casual attire. They are all thugs whose very presence on our streets makes them suspects and fair game for police harassment. Expect record numbers of ASBO’s and arrests.
Unfortunately for Tony, it’s almost summer and we are anticipating a heatwave. Hooded tops will be shed like snakeskin and teenage offenders will not be so easily identified. This latest drive to criminalize all youth will backfire as corporations will see retail sales plummet. Perhaps bare feet and nudity will come into vogue, since wearing expensive trainers automatically makes you a thief.
What will be outlawed next, string vests, bare chests, or just existing?

During a pretrial hearing Wednesday at Fort Hood, a military judge rejected a defense motion seeking to bar prosecutors from showing jurors certain photos in the court-martial of the 27-year-old former pizza shop manager from Lorton, Va.
Harman is charged with conspiracy, maltreatment and dereliction of duty in connection with the abuse of prisoners at Baghdad’s infamous Abu Ghraib Prison.
Prosecutors dropped an indecent acts charge in February, which means Harman is facing a possible sentence of 6 ½ years if convicted on all counts.
Specific incidents of alleged abuse by Harman include writing "rapeist" on the leg of one detainee and forcing another to stand on a box with wires in his hands and telling him he would be electrocuted if he fell off.
She would be the third defendant in the prisoner abuse scandal to go to a general court-martial.
Frank Spinner, Harman's civilian lawyer, said his client will not seek a plea agreement with prosecutors, a path chosn by a number of other soldiers accused of mistreating prisoners at Abu Ghraib.
Spinner says his client is not guilty."

Personally I'd be more terrified were I to be surrounded in a petrol station
by a group of people looking like Prescott.

Sometimes they walk along the pavement in big groups and I'm forced off onto the road - they don't get out of my way at all. The youth of today... no respect!
I was almost run over the other day because of them.
Just because they are poor and uneducated and young does not mean they have the right to behave in an antisocial way.
These yobs are quite intimidating!
And their language is attrocious!

Last night in my normally civilized community, for no obvious reason, kids smashed all the bus shelters and the windows of a passing bus, in the neighbourhood.
This a crazed reaction to the stigmatization of 'Yobs in Hoodys.'
Maybe I'm thinking out-of-the-box, but some new Youth Clubs and facilities seem like a more appropriate solution to anti-social behaviour?
