ATTACK OF THE LADETTES...

The vulgarisation of our society is exemplified in the news that the number of violent attacks by women has doubled in just five years. Last year 87,200 women and girls were arrested for attacks – the equivalent of 240 every day. It is the first time in British history that violence has been the most common crime among women and girls, taking over from theft. The Ministry of Justice report, released quietly on to the internet yesterday after MPs had left for the summer recess, also includes alarming figures on the scale of violence by children.  Youngsters between ten and 17 were arrested for more than 230 violent attacks or muggings every day last year. The number of muggings alone leapt by 22 per cent, compared to the previous year, to 17,900 arrests. Violence against the person – which includes knife crime – was up by almost four per cent, to 67,000 arrests.

The reality is that the rise of the binge-drinking anything goes culture has now produced a widespread societal lack of respect for the rule of law and a lack of self-respect.  So what if you get drunk and attack someone? Men, women and children are all coarsened by this prevailing climate of moral relativism and the crime figures tell the awful tale.

WOW, DAVID.....

You've described the behaviour of IRISH youth perfectly.

WHY?

The Gardai are afraid to confront the little bastards. And, on the odd occassion, when the drunken sots are charged they go to a solicitor who, for a price, gives them the "get-out-of-jail" formula.

1) Dress concervatively....Suit & tie.

2) Moderate hair cut...not too long or short.

3) Mum and Da accompany you with extra handkerchiefs.

4) Admit to having a problem with alcohol & drugs.

5) Solicitor states: client is drug & alcohol free.

6) Offer monetary compensation to the injured party.

7) Look sorrowful.

8) Offer Genuine remorse for your crime.

9) Promise to be a good lad in the future.

10) Receive judge's stern lecture.

11) Nod head vigerously in agreement.

12) Get suspended sentence (worse case scenario).

13) Get the "probation act" (no criminal record).

14) Exit court slowly, shoulders hunched.

15) Outside: light a fag, laugh.

16) Refer to the judge as "arse hole".

17) head off to pub, join mates.

18) Swill 15-pints + 7-alcopops.

19) Head butt the bouncer and glass the barman.

AH, The cycle of the Irish male just sowing his oats.
