Why has new labour allowed such a disaster, especially when you think back to 1997, education, education, education, was that just a smoke screen for tax, tax, tax.
New Labour haven’t allowed such a disaster. Blinkered people in our society like yourself have allowed such a disaster.

How the hell is it partly my fault that the UK’s youth are the worst in europe?

I blame the parenting, the lack of respect for our elders, so many children let to roam the streets until all hours.
There should be strict guidelines, children must learn what’s appropiate behaviour, this seems to have been lost.
I spose I have to say that in part I agree. I finish work at 10 o/c on the nights that I work, I get home around 10.20, driving home from work there are lots of kids around, standing on street corners in gangs of 4 or 5, often more, some of these kids seem to be little more than about 8 to 10 years old. What are they doing on street corners at that time of night, they should be home Where are their parents!! In the pub? maybe? or simply couldn’t care less, as long as their little darlings aren’t giving them grief?
There’s also of course, our seemingly ”nanny” state now, where a lot of the powers of parents, have been eroded to the point of non-existence. Tony says were not allowed to chastise our children anymore, not allowed to smack our children anymore. Wasn’t there a case in point this week, when a father pulled the duvet off his lazy son, who refused to get out of bed and go to school. The boy called the police and his father was arrested for assault!!!!! The boy seemingly did try to stop it all, after realising he’d gone too far, but his father was arrested non the less. Strange that, because I can 100% guarantee that someone reading this, would have had a real need for the police on occassion and been told that theyre too busy at the moment to come out. No doubt out arresting fathers for chastising their lazy children…………
Had this particular parent ignorned the fact that his son wasn’t going to school, he’d have been threatened with prosecution by the authorities, so parents can’t win really, can they :roll:

I think parents need to take more responsibility over their kids behaviour and those that can’t handle their kids should be given support.
What kind of support?
It would also help to have more police on the streets or at least PCSOs or wardens or some kind of visible deterrent.
More police yes, but new labour have taken them of catching non monetry crims in favour for car crimes such as no tax or insurance. Are you going to write a letter to blair and ask him to change his mind :D
There are too many feral teenagers causing havoc in our communities.
If only the kind of people in power you support generally would do what you want…
I think there should be a photo database of every resident within a borough held by the local council. That way, if cctv picks up an incident, or if someone witnesses/is a victim of a crime, then the database can be searched and a suspect can be found.
Why should those non victims or perpretrators of crime have one, surely it should be voluntary, not forced in a dictatorship manner.
We definately need you monitory you incase you commit a crime :wink:
If parents can’t cope with their kids then there should be specialist help organisations they can easily turn to to give them counselling. Some kids are out of control despite the best efforts of their parents to discipline them.
It doesn’t necessarily have to be actual police officers, if there was a visible authority presence on the streets then it would deter kids from behaving anti-socially and it would cut down street robbery because you’re not going to rob someone when there’s a person there who could stop you.
The town hall already has your details so why not add a photo for every resident. I think it would help because it would facilitate the identification process for people involved in loutish or criminal behaviour in public. Instead of putting photos in newspapers or making e-fits you could just search the council database for a matching face. Then you could question the person and try to establish if it really was him/her.

What kind of help? Who decides how to be a parent?

But should those who dont commit crime be allowed to keep their details private if they wish?
