Hi B, missprim,
Nothing surprises me anymore of criminals acting the way they do in the UK. They have no feelings for anybody but themselves.
The reason I think is the light sentences they get when they come to court and they know that, so a few weeks in hotel prison or a few hours community service dosent worry them.
Until the Government starts bringing in strict laws, things will never change unfortunately.
The UK, is now getting a sad Country that we live in, unlike before in our time when a copper could give a bad behaving youth a clip on the ear, with no comeback!!!! :-(
Have a good Xmas B.
