What has this country become?

From The Daily Mail comes news that "War hero's daughter facing arrest for tackling yobs who 'trashed war memorial'" Unfortunately, it is the type of story that we have all come to accept "When she spotted yobs vandalising a war memorial garden, Julie Lake sprang into action.


As the daughter of a Second World War RAF pilot – and granddaughter of one of the fallen in the 1914-18 war – she felt it was her duty to intervene. But, after giving the main culprit a talking- to and a 'cuff round the ear', she finds herself facing the prospect of being arrested for assault."


When we all realise that the yobs know their rights and that the Police would rather arrest one middle-aged, middle-class woman who will attend court on the allocated day, who will pay any fine and who will not involve social workers, rather that a number of yobs who will do the opposite. We are living in a fucked-up, topsy turvy land and I don't think there is any way back.
