Yobs making town centres no-go areas

Conservative MP Edward Leigh has claimed that drunken yobs are acting like “an occupying army” in town centres after dark, and that persistent young offenders view Asbos as a way of life. Do you feel safe to walk the streets at night? Are the government doing enough to tackle drunken thuggish behaviour, or is the problem getting worse?

    All the Wannabes that congregate around the streets looking for trouble or even trying hard to be big tough boys are a pain in the butt.
    Move along Wannabes before someone decides to kick your butt and you all run home to your mothers.

    Street violence at night and in the day time any crime at all should not be tolerated at any price, the police are far to soft now days, you see the criminals on the tele shouting and answering the police back ,they are acting like the old prefects at school , what sort of respect as the police got for them selves and the general public letting the yobs talk to them like that, We need harder sentences , a lot harder, paper work , or no paper work. Its there job, Justice in this country at all levels as got to be in the same frame of mind
