WHEN GIRLS GO BAD...
It's an interesting question for sure. I refer to the question as to what factors are driving the growing lawlessness among young women fuelled by figures yesterday from the Youth Justice Board (YJB). It disclosed that the number of offences committed by girls leapt by 25 per cent in just three years, compared with a two per cent fall among boys. I've heard a lot of talk suggesting that this is not really that accurate a figure but I'm not convinced this is true. Just consider the instances of a girl who received horrific injuries in a bomb blast in Harrow, north-west London, who was said to have been living in fear of a girl gang that had already beaten her up and was trying to drive her out of the city. The explosion was blamed by police on a gas leak, but the episode inadvertently shone a spotlight on violence between young women. Last month, a massive brawl erupted between rival girl gangs wielding snooker balls in socks in the unlikely setting of Shoreham railway station in West Sussex. In Northwich, Cheshire, a former policewoman was punched in the face by a teenage girl as she was mobbed by a gang of youngsters. A 15-year-old girl was jailed in March for filming two male friends beating a man to death in Keighley, West Yorkshire, on her mobile phone. The same month, a court heard that a gang of six teenage girls threw stones at a pensioner in Selby, North Yorkshire, forcing her into a busy road and leaving her with a broken nose and black eyes.
Something is rotten in the State as the rise of the female thug becomes more apparent. It seems that a significant section of the fairer sex has become more brutal, apeing male counterparts.

Teen violence as a whole is up a massive 40% in the last few years.
The kind of violence is getting worse and more hideous so this doesn't surprise me. Girls in gangs is nothing new. The level of their violence is.
Their violence is posted on-line aswell.
How is it possible that a 17 year old accused of the acid gang rape of a 16 year old girl is released on bail? Which holier-than-thou pillock in a wig did that?
Lawlessness is an appropriate choice of words David.
It is not possible to curb the increasing levels of violence amongst teenagers when the Law means nothing to them or their parents. I mean whatever you do even if you wind up with a life sentences it won't mean life and if it does there will be a high profile much lauded human rights lawyer on hand to get you off somewhere down the line.
Even our worse criminals have the potential to get of jail free. He may not. But the very IDEA that he could and which circulates in this weeks paper should be profoundly shocking to us all. At the very least a wake up call within the legal profession as a whole that it needs a big fat Ugg boot up its arse.
If what is developing in society is not a form of low-level civil war, I don't know what is.
It has to start at some point; like a gathering storm.
Back to the Me Generation and their brilliantly successful kulturkampf against the old, the traditional, the decent and sane.
The old culture was so weakened that when the boundaries came down anything went. Opposition was stamped on by being branded judgmental and bigoted.
Well we were right and they were wrong. We knew that the most civilised nation was heading for the gurgler and were derided for it.
The liberal and Marxists won their no-fault divorce, abolished fatherhood, did away with the notion of morality, responsibility and punishment are history and nihilism rules. These girls are only doing what the liberal state conditions them to do.
Of course there's a solution. We rewind the last 40 years and arrive back in a gentle land where these girls couldn't even conceive of acting in such an unladylike manner.
But first the liberals must recognise. They must genuinely wonder sometimes at the damage their revolution has done, at the sheer scale of the catastrophe they brought on our country. But without their honest acceptance and apologies, we can only become always more barbaric.
Pete,
I agree. I have it up to here with all this liberalism. We ought to adopt the bullet-in-the-back-of-the-neck approach of the more enlightened, nonCommunist countries such as China.
No Dawkins, some/most of us want a return to sanity before the left (you included, given your comment) wrecked decent society.
Allan,
Not sure why you include moi among "the left", but whatever fills your sails.
Nihilism Rules
Yes Pete, surely that is exactly how it should be in a world where "fancy hatted officials don't tell me what to do".
