The contrast between the way that the tiniest infringement of the speed limits is punished with a fine and penalty points (and so possible loss of job), whereas serious anti-social behaviour is all but ignored by the forces of law and order has been remarked upon so often that even I have refrained from posting on the subject. However there is a letter in yesterday's Telegraph that I think bears wider readership:
"Brian Watson, Nottingham
Sir - I am fed up at seeing photographs of families such as the Newloves, whose lives have been ripped apart by the violent actions of the disaffected few.
How can the law-abiding majority get it through to the Government, judges and police that we will not tolerate the casual way they seem to treat young thugs?
When will they deal as swiftly and decisively with the feral low life who ruin our communities as they did when I was caught by a camera doing 34mph in a 30mph zone on a ring road at midnight?"
