Asbos out

The Coalition is considering scrapping the Asbos in favour of a new system to deal with minor offenders on the spot.

Personally, I'd go with giving the police the power to confiscate a yobbo's, shoes, trousers and wallet so that the young hoodlum has a memorable walk home.

  1. Someone should explain to the Beeb that renaming something isn't the same thing as changing it. Adding a wideboy's previous antics to his record doesn't mean anything when you have no intention whatever of doing anything to dissuade him from continuing to be a pain in society's collective arse.

    I'll believe that they're "changing" the system when the yobs are afraid to try anything for fear of the consequences. Up to and including their immediate termination by their intended victim(s), preferably with something more emphatic than a kitchen knife with a "safety tip".

    cheers
