Part of me feels a bit sorry for Theresa May. She took on a problem – Brexit – which has no solution, and which is not going to let her keep her job however it pans out. But then, I remember she is also a Tory, and my pity vanishes. Being a Tory is probably why she comes out with crap like this.<\/p>\n

The BBC reports on the \u201cyouth crime summit\u201d taking place at Downing Street<\/a>. She opened it with the comment:<\/p>\n

\n

We cannot simply arrest ourselves out of this problem.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This is stupid, even for a Tory. If the police had greater numbers and arrested more people, there\u2019d be fewer of the twats hanging out on the streets trying to commit crimes in the full knowledge that currently they won\u2019t<\/strong> be arrested, and that they\u2019ll get off lightly if they are. They could at least arrest part<\/strong> of the problem away.<\/p>\n

Then again, if the Tories have always been stupid and out of touch, they can\u2019t hold a candle to the unions on that score. Plans to have teachers and youth workers help report crimes are being opposed by those fossils. So basically, you\u2019re left with a  situation where teachers and youth workers want to deliberately overlook crime, and the police don\u2019t want to (or can\u2019t) arrest anyone anyway even if they\u2019re aware of it. And we will no doubt continue to pretend not to see which groups are primarily involved in the problem – a detail which could be used to help sort it much more effectively if we stopped playing the PC card over everything.<\/p>\n

In other words, we stay exactly as we are now, with juvenile wankers going out to stab people to score points based on where the knife enters the victim\u2019s body, and having their idols write pathetic songs about it, thus fuelling the problem still further.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, there is more than one thing that needs to be done to solve a problem. In this case, at the very least the police should be arresting people and<\/strong> the teachers\/youth workers should be reporting people. Period. And speaking personally, I don\u2019t give a damn who<\/strong> is committing the crime as long as I can see that efforts are being made to stop them from doing it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
