Are We Creeping Towards A Society Where Violence Is Acceptable...?

Given all the stories seen on here, I think we are and well done to David Cameron on highlighting this whilst the Home Secretary is content to bury her head in the sand. What do you think? Who's right, who's wrong?

Britain is "creeping" towards a state where violence is socially acceptable, Conservative leader David Cameron has warned in a speech.





He said aggression was being "feted" - as illustrated by the use of mobile phones to film people being beaten up.





He called for a "relentless focus" on low level disorder and a crackdown on knife and gun crime.





Home Secretary Jacqui Smith accused him of "alarmist rhetoric" and said crime was down by a third since 1997.

Are We Creeping Towards A Society Where Violence Is Acceptable...?
As frightening as it seems I am afraid that we are. The more something happens or you are subjected to it every day through the media it becomes the norm!


Of course although the Government talks tough on it, that's exactly all they do. The Police have been tired up with red tape and form filling and when they do bring some toerag to justice the lawlords seem fit to dish out a paltry sentence, because our prison's are crowded don't you know so we must dish out more non-custodial sentences.


Killed someone while drunk? - 4 months probation, picking up litter in the local park!!!!!

Reply:Actually, crime in the UK has been eliminated, except for that which occurs on a daily basis. Knifing is down by 100% or would be if people stopped stabbing each other and the word murder has fallen into disuse after several decades without an occurence. Taxes are almost non-existent and Peter Hain has no case to answer. Statistics prove er
