Yob Task Force Announced - What Bollocks!

From the BBC:

A national 'respect squad' is being launched by John Reid to help in the battle against anti-social behaviour.
Local councils, MPs and police chiefs will be able to call in the squad to help tackle cases of "yobbishness".


Oh for feck’s sake…. I go away for 10 days and when I return Reid has been allowed to spout more shite while doing absolutely nothing.

He currently has about two thirds of his
“100 days” left and so far he has done nothing in the first month. This is going to be no different.

There is a simple answer to helping councils tackle cases of yobbishness, just let the councils get on with the job.

If NuLab hadn’t hamstrung the police force in the first place, actually given them police officers instead of Community Support Officers then we might not have this problem.

“Mr Reid said: "Anti-social behaviour ruins lives and fragments communities - particularly those in some of the most deprived areas of our country.
"We should and will be unremitting in our efforts to drive up standards of behaviour and enforce a culture of respect, for the benefit of all."

Yes it ruins lives Reid, you’ve ruined them. Half the battle against crime is deterrent and we have absolutely none whatsoever.

"We need to rebalance the criminal justice system so that people believe that it is truly on their side," he said.”

Cast your mind back 4 years when Blunkett was in charge of HMS Fuck Up. As they were launching the Criminal Justice Bill (now Act) he spoke these words:

"The White Paper is designed to rebalance the criminal justice system in favour of the victim and the delivery of justice for all."

Has anything changed in 4 years? Do we think anything will change in the next 60 days?
