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?

    Of course they are safe.You lot are a complete load of wimps.
    Its the media making it sound so bad.
    So a few young black males attack other youngsters and suddenly you have middle aged white woman going "oh im so scared,i dont want to leave the house".Get a grip and show a backbone.You arent a target or a victim.You all make me want to vomit.

    Thats the one place cctv cameras are welcome in city centers at night. but the minuet a first blow is landed on anyone then the police should swoop not after the victim has had his pockets lifted by a girl gang leader and certainly not after her accomplices kick his head in as was the scene in this weeks papers
